Life’s Top Lessons Learned Through Experience

// THREAD //
1. What You Eat Today Determines Your Health 20 Years From Now

Food is our fuel and if you’re continuously putting junk into the engine, it’s only a matter of time before the system breaks down. With every bite that you take, you make a choice.
2. Struggle Is Good

We have to go through the bad to appreciate the good. During bad times, just remember that there will eventually be a silver lining. Be in the moment, and feel your feelings in order to learn, grow and fully move on.
3. Surround Yourself with People Who Light You Up

Your inner circle has a great influence on how you act, feel and show up in the world. In order to bring out the best version of yourself, surround yourself with love, positivity and people that you admire.
4. Don’t Start A Relationship Unless You’re In Love

Love is a beautiful thing but it cannot be forced – either it’s there or it isn’t. Just because a person looks good on paper does not mean that YOU love this person. Trust your gut and follow your heart.
5. Daily Exercise Is A Must

The benefits of exercise are in-numerous, but the bottom line is that it helps you feel good mentally, physically and emotionally. Go for a walk, run around with your kids or garden to reduce stress, improve mood and boost overall health.
6. Don’t Get Wrapped Up In What Other People Think

Wanting to be liked and accepted is a part of being human; however, conforming takes away from what makes you, YOU. People are drawn to new ideas and people who own their individuality. Be a leader rather than a follower!
7. Try New Things

Although helpful, routine also limits your potential. Try new things and get out of your comfort zone to open new pathways in the brain and to grow as a person.
8. Things Are Not What They Seem

Nobody is perfect, no matter how they portray themselves. We all have bad days and flaws. Avoid the comparison trap and be grateful for the life that you have created for yourself. More often than not, the grass is not greener.
9. Money Is Not the Most Important Thing

Sure, having money makes things easier in many regards, but beyond the necessities, the “things” that money buys only take us so far. Happiness is an inside job that comes from connection, experiences and self-care.
10. Be Nice to Everyone

It’s a small world and we’re all connected in some way, shape or form. It pays to be a good person – you never know when you may bump into this person again.
11. Give Without Expecting Something In Return

If you give a gift, take care of a meal, or practice a good deed, do so from the kindness of your heart and avoid keeping score, especially with loved ones. Everything comes back around in one way or another.
12. Be Present

Spending too much time holding onto the past or worrying about what might happen in the future prevents you from actually living in the moment. Life is short and the moments pass quickly. Take control by learning to appreciate what’s right in front of you.
13. Avoid Negativity

Energy is contagious and negative people are draining and stressful. Protect your energy by spending as little time as possible with people who leave you depleted and defeated.
14. Find Your Purpose

Whether that’s to be a great mom, a killer salesman or a mentor, having a purpose gives you a reason to get up every day.
15. Take Action

There’s no better time than now to go after that dream, try something new or face a fear. Just do it! Even if you fail, at least you can say you tried.
16. Learn to Say “No”

Protect your space and time. Say “no” when you aren’t really interested or don’t have time. From weekend plans and trips to job opportunities, declining sends a message to the universe about what you ARE looking for.
17. Honesty is the Best Policy

Don’t lie, cheat or steal. Regardless of the situation, it is lighter and much more respectable to just tell the truth.
