24 Lessons for 24 Years
24 lessons I’ve learned over the course of 24 years.
Be present.
“We know the extent of our love for God by how well we love people, His people,” Bob Goff.
We are intentionally guided into failure until we learn the lesson we are supposed to learn. And until we heal properly and fully learn that lesson, we will keep reliving it over and over again; experiencing it in different forms.
Say yes. To everything.
Cling to the people who are different from you and that you don’t understand. Showing those people what unconditional love, kindness, and compassion are, is what will change the world.
Give up your pride and your ego.
Be about action. Don’t just talk about how you’re going to do something or how you want to do something.
If you want to receive, you give. Whatever you give to others- love, kindness, compassion, empathy, betrayal, dishonesty, jealousy, is what you will receive in return.
You choose your response. How you choose to respond says everything about you.
Have selfless love for everybody.
Keep your heart and intentions pure through everything.
Actions speak louder than words. Our words can say one thing while our actions and our lives could say something completely opposite.
Do not let people have control over you. Your emotions are not reliant on anyone, but yourself.
Show people who you are by what you do, not by what you say.
Without risk, challenge, difficulty, anxiety, and a little fear, you can’t grow.
Our relationships with people should be deeper. It feels like relationships and interactions with others are so surface-level. We all want to feel understood, accepted, and like we belong. If we want to feel these things, we have to make others feel those things, too. Remember, if you want to receive, you give.
Our availability to others is a good measure of how available we are to opportunities coming our way.
Every intention we have, affects ourselves and others. We have to be intentional with everything.
Jealousy is a teacher. It reveals the parts of yourself that you need to learn about.
Impatience is the desire to have your needs met first.
Anytime you ask a question to a higher power, you’re asking for guidance. You have to be ready and willing to receive that guidance and clarity.
Your intuition is never wrong and is something that should guide you.
Love should never hurt.
Trust yourself.
Bonus lesson: treat your time and energy as a precious commodity. Be very intentional with who and what gets your time.
