41 years ago today I was chucked on this earth.
Too early & too small.
Still time blind & not really a large human, I have continued on this trajectory.
10 hings I’ve learnt along the way:
1. No one can do this for you but surrounding yourself with good people will make the journey quicker & more fun.
2. Your words shape your reality & how you tell your story will determine the the version of your life you sit in.
3. Some people will like you, some won’t. So what! Live it in your own way anyway, you’ll spin yourself into a mountain of sadness trying to be liked by all.
4. Acceptance of hard things doesn’t mean giving up it means not adding fuel to the fire of any pain you might already be experiencing. Good is always sat right next to it.
5. Look for glimmers of joy every day & never stop playing. The more you look, the more you’ll see.
6. Being able to say sorry, cry & keep going after a failure are all traits of strength.
7. It’s rare that you mess up so badly that you can’t come back from it. Plus, even if it is that rare occasion, you’ll find a way around it anyway.
8. There’s not one route to happiness, you get to change your mind, get to double back on yourself & the one thing that is always true is that your happiness is decided by you (even in the most difficult of circumstances).
9. No one’s watching you in the way you think they are. Sure we’re nosy we’ll have a glance but we quickly move on to focusing on our own moves. Let this be freeing for you, live your life on your own terms, in a way that feels good to you & go and do the fu***ng thing.
10. Life is a wonderful adventure & if you are curious and open to the possibility that good is coming, you truly never know what things are on the horizon for you.
There are many other things I have learnt but these are a snippet.
I feel lucky to have been gifted these years & grateful for the things I’ve done, the people that have been part of this journey & I’m excited about what carnage I have yet to create.
