19 things im learning in 2019
Oh 2019, you were both a difficult and a wonderful year. I learned so much from you, experienced a lot of pain, I have achieved a lot of my goals, I’ve had my loses but gained a lot of things as well. Despite the obstacles I had to face, you’re definitely a year to remember, and here are some things I have and still am continuously learning.
1. Stop caring about what other people think because they most probably don’t care.
2. Do whatever you want to do NOW. Stop saying you’ll do it tomorrow, because you’ll probably end up never doing it.
3. Always be kind. If people are making fun of someone, be the mature person and stand up for that person. If someone’s being left behind, walk with them. If someone is having a hard time, help them out. If someone is quiet, ask them how they are. Be the kindest person you can be because you never know what someone may be going through. Other people may also be praying for the kindness you will give them, so be their miracle.
4. Never ask for anything in return, and expect nothing as well.
5. Always shake the hands of everyone in the room, and try AS HARD AS YOU CAN to remember the name of every single person you meet. That’s a way to show respect.
6. There are adults who never grow up and who will always try to tear you down, make you feel like shit, and blame you for something you’ve never done. I know you want to point fingers, but just stay mature, and don’t stoop down to their level. If they think they’re right, then speak your truth once, and once is enough. (However, always try to understand where they may be coming from and what they have gone through in the past. They may be wrong, but still try to see why they may be acting that way. Be the better person, always.)
7. People always try to turn things into a competition. If it doesn’t have to be, don’t sweat it.
8. If someone wants to play games with you, don’t play. Drop them.
9. If someone’s meant to stay in your life, they will; if not, open the door wide for them and let them leave.
10. Things will happen in God’s timing, stay patient.
11. Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health.
12. Invest now, and reap the harvests later. Meaning study hard and smart, work out as much as you can, eat healthy, drink more water, make more friendships and connections, hone your talents, find more hobbies, do whatever you want to do NOW, and thank yourself in the future for the things you will end up gaining.
13. ALWAYS respect your grandparents. Remind them how thankful you are and how much you love them everyday. They’ve sacrificed so much for you and they owe you nothing while you owe them everything.
14. Be generous, help whoever you can when you can, and keep giving. It’s the least you can do to give back for everything you’ve been blessed with in life.
15. Always be true to yourself. Nothing can ever be more beautiful than you being thyself.
16. When you feel depressed, don’t be afraid to fall on your knees and cry and cry until you can’t anymore. After that, go dry your tears, stand back up, and get better.
17. If you feel like spending, always rememeber these quotes: if you don’t need it, it’s expensive. If you can’t buy two of those, then you can’t afford it. You may want to get that damn bag right now, but nothing feels better than being financially stable for the next 10 years. Always be wise with money, and it’s okay to be kuripot.
18. Always talk to God. Talk to him about everything. He’s the strength that will keep you going, and we both know that.
19. Always stay strong too, Soph. Rest when you feel like it, but never give up. Always believe in yourself, and know you can do anything you put your heart and mind in to.
