It's my Birthday tomorrow,
and I'll be turning 33. The age of Christ.
33..., how did I get here?
And where am I going? how much time is left?
Worse of all - how much energy is left?
I will ponder more of this between my ups and downs,
since I am still in a process of figuring out who I am.
I'm seating here, thinking about life, sorting out what I have learned,
fighting to keep my balance, my sanity, and trying to get comfortable on my own skin.
Here is a list of 33 life lessons I have learned - not in school - at the age of 33:
- I can love somebody more than anything, but at the same time not love this person all that much if I keep myself busy with other things.
- Time REALLY heals all the wounds.
- Motivation comes in short bursts.
- People deserve a second chance, but not a third.
- Bad things do happen to good people.
- Love has nothing to do with looks, but everything to do with time, trust and compatibility.
- It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.
- Positive Thinking!!!
- Prayer REALLY makes that difference.
- There is no 'someday'. There’s only now.
- Stress is toxic and it can lead to serious health problems.
- I deserve happiness, love, peace and joy.
- When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
- Whatever doesn't kill me really does make me stronger.
- However bad a situation is, this too shall pass.
- Miracles are waiting to happen.
- A deep breath calms the mind.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- If there is a problem, there is a solution.
- I am today what I did yesterday.
- Every week is filled with trials and tribulations; absolutely normal.
- Every time I think I’ve seen it all, I get schooled out.
- It's better to be weird than boring.
- Everyday is an opportunity for growth.
- There’s no place like home.
- Being in the right place at the right time can make a huge difference.
- My word is my most valuable asset.
- My family should always be my priority.
- If I want to get richer, I need to start getting earlier.
- Karma REALLY is a b*tch.
- I am what I eat. (and drink!)
- Consistency is the key to achieving personal pursuits.
- Life is About People, I can’t succeed on my own.
