10 things I wish I had known sooner in life

Life is full of lessons. Some lessons are learned instantly and some take time to

be fully understood.

Here I will share some that I have learned throughout my life.

1. BE YOURSELF! To be yourself in the world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest achievement. Speak your truth.

2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! You are braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

3. BE HAPPY! Happiness is a choice. If you base your happiness on being grateful for the fact that you are alive, you will always have a reason to be happy.

4. FORGIVE! It takes strength to forgive. If you don't let past die, then it won't let you live.

5 .PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HABITS! Don't get in habit of collecting red flags. Your habits can make you or break you. Your #habits determine your future, then be careful what is the action that you repeat every day.

6. YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE! Treat it gently and with a lot of care.

7. TIME IS ALL WE HAVE! Nothing in life is promised except death. If you have this opportunity to enjoy life, you should appreciate every moment of that time you have left.

8. BOUNDARIES ARE IMPORTANT! Having the courage to set #boundaries is a big example of #self-love. Boundaries are part of self-care. They are healthy, normal, and necessary.

9. ENJOY NATURE! #Nature reminds us to enjoy simple joys around us. Take a deep breath, inhale-exhale.

10. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! You can only #grow if you are willing to try new things and situations. Confront your fear, sometimes pain is fertile ground for radical change.

Just go for it, you will thank me later.
