It's Officially My Birthday! Wooooo, Yay [I couldn't be Happier] 

Hello to all my Leos out there. [23 years old] is not a huge milestone in the age department but it's another year of life and of me being happy and healthy. On top of that what better way to bring in a new year of birth than things that I've learned in my 23 years on this earth. This was actually a challenge thinking of 23 things that I've learned so far. So... I narrowed it down to 10. Of course we all learn so much even in a day, but to actually recognize lessons that really impacted your life can be hard to remember. Since my blog is kind of like an online diary. I wanted to share this with you, because maybe, just maybe you can relate and boom! [we have something in common] soooo yeah!

1. Reach for something you've never reached for before. Basically if you have an idea or goal just sitting in the back of your mind. Just go for it and actually do it! You never know the payoff 

2. Practice what you preach. That sang never gets old [NEVER] and its extremely true.  Don't talk about something but your not a believer in it yourself.

3. Your confidence in measured more by how you think of yourself. If you think highly of yourself and you know your worth as a human/women/man/etc, then your confidence and strength will show more and the opinions of others will not matter. [they will eventually become irrelevant]

 4. Nothing is handed to you. If you want something go out there and work to get it. You'll have a much better feeling knowing that you worked for something and it paid off.

5. In order to see results you have to work towards them. I can't just lay in my bed all day and say I want to [loose weight] but never get up and try anything to achieve that goal.

6. Don't listen to the negative, focus on the positive. Everyone is going to have an opinion and sometimes we even doubt ourselves but knowing the positive affect in everything you do will kick those negative thoughts right out the window.

7. Everybody is in their own lane and that's okay! As humans/People we are always secretly comparing ourselves to others when it comes to success. In all actuality everyone is on their own path and thats okay because you will eventually get to where you want to be also.

8. I love and hate social media. I love all the good it does with networking and business and keeping in touch with friends but I hate how controlling its become and how attached we are. But don't get me wrong I love me some social media but every once in a while its good to take a break.

 9. Writing thank you letters go a long way. We forget how important it is to send a hand written letter. A letter takes time and the whole process is different from sending a simple text. Its just much more personal and Im glad I know that know. 

10. We as humans are always evolving and changing. You are never going to be the same person you were the day before. Theres always things that we gain or loose and those things can change our views on life, relationships, success etc. So over night you can have a different opinion or view on something or gain knowledge in a certain area, and be [slowly changing] without even knowing it.
