I’ll answer this question by echoing notes I’ve left for myself in my journal:
Eyes on the prize while you stop to smell the roses
You are loved, even when you don’t feel like it and even when those that love you don’t do it in the most efficient ways
Try not to take shit personally, everyone is just projecting
The success you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding
If he isn’t in awe of you, he doesn’t deserve you
Outgrow feeling like you have to play small to protect peoples feelings
The pain of self-discipline is better than the pain of regret
If you allow a man to feed you he has the power to starve you—be independent and have your own income and assets
If God puts rice in your basket, there is no point in wishing for soup—instead of wallowing in self-pity, make the most of your situation and excel
Fashion is for your everyday life, not just for big occasions
Your brain changes more in your twenties than at any other time in your adult life—whatever it is that you want to change about yourself, now is the time to do it by building good habits
Speed is relatively unimportant, forward is forward
Low self-esteem often leads to adverse self-fulfilling prophecies; break the cycle and build a strong sense of self-worth
The people who reach the greatest heights are not always the strongest, nor the most intelligent; they are the most responsive to change
Some of these are truisms I’ve found on Tumblr, some are quotes from books I’ve read, some are wisdom I’ve received from the people in my life, and others are things I’ve realized from self-reflection. This probably wasn’t the most organized but I hope it was still helpful! ❣️
