2019 has been a pretty challenging year for me. I started it being scared and anxious about everything, and I ended it single, with new career goals and surrounded by my best friends. Here are 20 lessons (100% tested and approved) that I learned along the way!
1. People only show their best sides to you but you would be amazed by how many people share the same feelings as you
2. If you feel like you can’t be yourself around a certain group of people, then you’re hanging out with the wrong group
3. Notice people who make you feel energized and happy VS people who drain all your energy. It’ll change your life.
4. You don’t need to justify yourself when you say « no » to something
5. However, you should say yes more often to spontaneous proposals and experiences
6. Honesty is a sign of respect
7. If you don’t give your 100% to something then you’ll be less likely to get that 100% back
8. Choose flaws over qualities. Your dream job also consists in not-so-dreamy parts, and this is what you should consider when choosing your career. The same applies with friends/lovers.
9. The person you sit in front of at the library can become one of your best friends (true story for me)
10. 99% of the scenarios you imagine in your head will never happen
11. Changing starts within YOUR thoughts and how you react to them.
12. Just because you’re offended it doesn’t mean that you’re right
13. Keep a critical eye to everything you hear/see.
14. Being vulnerable is a sign of strenght and not a sign of weakness
15. You can cope with a lot more than you think
16. Your life can totally change in a year and you can be a whole different person only if you’re willing too
17. Cherish what you already have in your life, happiness lies in gratitude
18. Wanting to be perfect for others will only make you seem a boring and hypocrite person
19. The habits you adopt now will define the person you’ll be in the future
20. Be curious. Read books, listen to podcasts, travel (even in your country), and talk to new people
