22 Things I’ve Learned By 22
On October 9, 2017 by White Scarf Perspective
1. Taking care of your body and mind are both equally as important. Do not take for granted the one vessel to experience this incredible thing called life.
2. You are able to cope and move on from things far worse than you ever believe you could, just trust in the process. Keep on keeping on.
3. Quality over quantity for everything!
4. Trust and communication are THE two most important components of MY relationships. Focus on these two things and the rest will work itself.
5. EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY! People and emotions come into your life long enough for you to experience the necessary lesson then leave again. Everything passes both the pain and immense pleasure. Use it as incentive to make the most out of each experience.
6. Over thinking is one of the root causes of unhappiness. It will make you experience negative situations that will never occur in reality. The sooner you learn to embrace and control your thoughts the happier you’ll become.
7. Feminism is not a bad word and is EVERYONE’S concern.
8. Forgiveness is a necessary double edged sword. Sometimes you need to swallow your pride and forgive, not because they deserve it but because you deserve to be free.
9. Eat the____ (cookie dough ice cream)_____ and don’t feel bad about it! When you die it is not the small things like this you will regret. Eat well and exercise NOT because you hate your body, but because you love it. Learn to love the relationship you have with it.
10. Miscommunication and assumptions are the root of all conflicts. Remember that everyone has their own truth and making the assumption that they have the same as you is only going to result in misunderstanding and stagnancy.
11. Figure out what is in your fuck budget and live by it. Figure out the events, relationships, people, conversations, experiences… that aren’t in your fuck budget, that place no value in your life and remove them.
12. Giving more rights to someone does not take your rights away. It is 2017, change and differences are inevitable. Just because something has always been done a particular way, doesn’t mean it should be or has to be. Use your privilege to be the voice for those who don’t have their own.
13. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Make mistakes and make them proudly. Struggle courageously knowing that rock bottom leads to highs so high you could eat a star.
14. You will never be as powerful or internally enriched/empowered as when your words and actions reflect those necessary of your soul. You feel sparks and intuitions in your life for a very intentional reason. Listen to them and live by them.
15. You will never be successful earning a six figure salary if you lack meaningful and wholehearted relationships with yourself and others. Relationships are everything in life! They are the key to your happiness! Whether it be romantic, friendships or the relationship with yourself. The more fulfilled, honest, raw, genuine, reflective the relationship, the happier you will become.
16. Focus on changing the way you see not the way you look. You are beyond beautiful, and not because of how you look but the perspective you have to offer.
17. Don’t let yourself stress too hard about money. Money will always come and go. HOWEVER don’t put yourself into a situation where you need to stress about it.
18. Memories and experiences are far more valuable than any material thing could ever be.
19. Just do you! Focus on yourself and what you need. Where you’re going, where you want to be and most importantly what’s going to make you happy. Because ultimately even the ones you love most in your life are always going to just do them! When you have focus on just your life it enables you to always have control despite the actions of others
20. Do not treat others how they treat you. There’s a reason people don’t treat you well, they are missing something. When they come into your life give them more of your kindness and good thoughts and move on with your life, not because they deserve it but because they need it.
21. Always look at life through your bigger picture. You have the ability to control every single situation that comes your way just through the power of your thoughts.
22. Vulnerability is both terrifying and beautiful. Succumbing to it COULD get you hurt, but avoiding it WILL stop you from feeling the happiest you’re capable of feeling.
