Beginning of 2013, i listed everything I learnt during my time on this earth thus far. I am happy to share them with you, and get your thoughts.
1- Many beliefs we carry with us are limiting and wrong
2- It is okay to make mistakes and fail. The goal of life is not winning, but it is being and loving
3- While we all have fears, it is important to be aware of them and pinpoint when they drive our decisions (read more on this topic)
4- The way i perceive myself is not the way people perceive me, in fact at times it is the complete opposite
5- Self-love is at the basis of happiness, if you do not love and forgive yourself, you will not be able to do so with others, and you will not survive the storm
6- Being happy, is not easy, in fact it takes work, and is a long journey. So learn to appreciate every part of it
7- There is no such thing as impossible, everything is literally possible
8- There is no such thing as bad people, all people are good. Some people are just insecure and afraid
9- Things change... all the time
10- Persistence + consistency pay off. Building habits is essential to living the life we want
11- We are responsible for our happiness, no one or nothing can make us happy
12- Meditate more, for your answers come from within
13- Vulnerability is power
14- You can do it on your own. Oftentimes, you will find yourself alone, and that is a wonderful thing
15- The times when you simply let go, and give up control are when things turn out for the best, hence my mantra: trust and believe
16- Patience is an under-stated virtue worth cultivating
17- Make sure you do what you are passionate about, even if you can't do it full time, even if it is an hour a week
18- You cannot change anyone, people need to want to change for themselves
19- I learnt there is not "one" person for me, there are many
20- I learnt to embrace sadness and depression, the same way you embrace joy and happiness, for they are the times when you feel most connected to your soul
