Life's Lessons

Over the past few months, I've been jotting down a few of the lessons I've learned in life.  Some may look familiar, some may not, some you may agree with, and if you don't, that's fine.  But these are things that have hit close to home for me, and I wanted to share.  (I'm sure after I post this, I'll think of a hundred more, but then I'll post another!)

• It's okay to have a few really great friends compared to a hundred mediocre, distrustful ones.
• I hate crash diets and will forever stand my ground that eating right & a little sweat will produce better & more everlasting results.
• Be careful who you share what information with.  Life is so much simpler with less involved.
• People who don't volunteer or give donations for fund raisers bug me.  Stop being selfish. 
• Learn how to accept a compliment.
• Set your coffee maker before you go to bed.  There is nothing better than waking up to freshly brewed coffee at your fingertips.
• Go out to a restaurant or bar alone.  Nerve-wracking & powerful all at once.
• Money can be made.
• Always accept help if it's offered.  Those are the people who truly care.
• Just when you think life can't get any harder or confusing, be prepared; it usually does.
• If your friends &/or family are all telling you the same advice, 99% sure you should listen.  Although we all like to be stubborn & independent, you'll one day be humble enough to admit you should have listened.
• Never forget who you are & what you're worth to the ones who know you the best.  At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
• Stand up for yourself!!!  Once a pushover, always a pushover.

So read, ponder, comment.  

Til next time...
