Valuable Life Lessons

Life is a constant classroom of learning new things, ways to live and how to make decisions that will enable us to live our best lives always. No matter how old or young, we all have room for growth and change so that we can be happy, productive, healthy and at peace within ourselves and within the world we live. Listed below are a few lessons for you to keep in mind as you move from one day to the next, always doing your best to live a life of positivity.

• Your thoughts are powerful. They can influence how you feel about yourself, the decisions you make and the actions you take. Keep the thinking positive and encouraging.
• Live in the here and now. The past is gone, you can’t change it. The future unknown so you can’t predict it. This moment that you have is right now so do your best to make it a good one. If you live each moment as it comes with purpose and positivity, then you will have a past with no regrets.
• Forgive. Holding onto pain, anger, disappointment or sadness caused by others will only hurt you and hold you back. Forgive and let go.
• Trust yourself. Do things that make you feel good and fit into your moral code. If something doesn’t feel or look right, it probably isn’t and is best avoided.
• Don’t waste time. Life flies by and if you keep waiting for a better time, it may never come. Do life now!
• Have fun. Don’t take life so seriously. Laugh and enjoy adventures, experiences and relationships.
• Know your worth and don’t settle for anything less than you deserve. You’re worthy, good enough and just plain amazing so aim high and reach for the stars. Don’t let anyone try to hold you back from achieving your dreams or being who you are meant to be.
• Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up your goals, dreams or yourself to make others comfortable. Your only job is to live your life for you, the way you want it. If life gets hard, do whatever you have to in order to push past the tough stuff, whether that’s seeking professional help, taking medication or distancing yourself from toxic situations and people.
• Be grateful. Count your blessings and focus on all the positive things in your life that may get forgotten some days when the clouds are hiding the sun.
• Above all, remember to Be Pretty, Plus and Proud because you are a wonderful human who deserves a wonderful life.
