2018 is definitely not my year. But it did give me a number of lessons to always bear in mind. I have listed quite a few. People might need them too. 😁
1. Life is full of surprises. Never expect for all of your plans to happen one day because sometimes, they just don’t.
2. The world is definitely tough. And at times, you just have to give yourself a favor—rest.
3. Self love is very important. Be reminded that it is never bad to occasionally put yourself first.
4. Having only a few people around is not a negative thing. Sometimes, solitude is all that we need to allow ourselves to heal.
5. Do not be afraid to try new things. Life has so many doors. If a few opens for you, go and see what’s inside.
6. Nobody stays forever. As cliché as it may sound, people do come and go. And that is totally okay.
7. Stay away from drama. Making issues out of nothing is pointless. Try not to make the world even smaller for you.
8. People will ask for your help at some point. See if you can do someone a good turn.
9. Do everything in your power to stay calm. You do not have to be angry all the time.
10. You can never be happy if you do not teach yourself how to be contented with what you have.
11. Only a few were blessed with patience. But it’s true, good things do come to those who wait.
12. There are problems that are way too difficult to solve. Some of them are even out of our control. We just got to leave them in the hands of God.
13. Forgive yourself. Note that you are not perfect—just like everyone else.
14. Always be grateful. Life is still beautiful no matter what.
15. Things are sometimes better left unsaid. If it can’t help, keep it.
16. Stop thinking badly about yourself. You did great. And that is all that matters.
17. Stop procrastinating. Do not wait for the very last minute. Do it now. Thank yourself later.
18. If there’s one that you have to keep in mind, it’s the fact that everything will always work out in the end. You just got to have faith.
