“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”

Hey, Gourgeous! I hit the big scary 30 last year and I am pleased to report that they are not as big nor as scary as I expected. And I know this would sound cheesy, but I feel younger than ever.  So if you about to hit the big mark, don’t worry, ain’t nothing scary there. And if you already joined the club – I got ya, boo!

I am utterly grateful for my twenties and the many lessons they provided me – after all, to them I grant my current state of wisdom. However, I can honestly say that I won’t miss them at all! I am like – Bye, Felicia! You can go now!

And as we speak of wisdom, today I want to share with you some of mine that I gather during my time here on Earth. I got the idea for this post from Pinterest (who loves, Pinterest?) and I instantly knew that I have to make one myself. I think it’s such a cool idea!

So, without further ado – here are my 30 life lessons in 30 years:

1. No one is better than you, and you are no better than anyone else.

2. Perception is reality. Change your focus and your life will change.

3. Do not compare yourself to anyone! No one is you and that’s your strength.

4. You are the one thing that stands between you and your goals! Make yourself a favor – move!

5. Love yourself unconditionally! Even if you don’t feel lovable… especially when you don’t feel lovable!

6. You can achieve anything you put your heart and mind in to.

7. There is good coming from every bad situation.

8. Sometimes all you have to do is to have faith in yourself.

9. Kindness is the least and most you can give to someone. Be generous!

10. Be grateful for everything in your life! Everything!

11. Cherish every moment with your family. Yes, even when they are driving you crazy!

12.  You body is kind of awesome! Believe me, you will see it soon enough!

13. There are too many books and too little time. You have to find a way to deal with it!

14. You are smarter, stronger and and way more capable than you can imagine!

15. Every person in your life comes with a lesson! It’s up to you to learn it and find the hidden wisdom

16. You create your reality! You are the sole owner of your faith!

17. No matter what is the question, love is always the answer!

18. Don’t panic! I repeat – don’t panic! You’ve got this!

19. A smile and a kind word can get you everywhere!

20. Whatever you are looking for is not on the outside! Look within!

21. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Guess what? You are the beholder!

22. Limits exist only within your mind! Erase them!

23. Fear is your worst enemy – befriend it!

24. Believe there is a way and way will appear in front of you!

25. Approach everything holistically – all is one, everything is connected!

26. Invest in your friends, life is whole lot of funnier and easier with them!

27. Laugh as often and as hard as you can! Laugh your butt off! Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!

28. By not allowing yourself to receive, you are robbing the person in front of you from the joy of giving! Allow yourself to receive!

29. Generosity is a super power that everyone has. Be a super hero!

30. Coffee always helps! ALWAYS!
