I had a birthday pass this summer and I’m officially 26 years old. For every two years, I have a lesson to share:

 

  1. Take advantage of every opportunity you are met with; but maybe don’t go forcing things. 

  2. With that, trust that the things you thought were best for you, aren’t always right at that time. The things that are meant for you will come. 

  3. You’re allowed to not fit into the status quo. You have permission to be this andthat. 

  4. Creativity fits into every area of life, no matter what anybody tells you.  

  5. Do the things that make you happy. It is so simple to state and sort of cliche, but difficult to execute. 

  6. Other people are cheering you on, like you cheer them on. 

  7. Lean into the spaces that light you up. 

  8. You are so much more capable than you think. 

  9. Take more pictures and videos of your loved ones than you think is necessary.

  10. You aren’t supposed to be anywhere else than where you are right now. You aren’t “behind” and there is no “right” way to do things. 

  11. Practice gratuity, and carry yourself with the acknowledgement of all that you’ve accomplished- as well as the lessons you’ve learned from mistakes you’ve made. This will help you build ownership over your life, bringing more peace and happiness. 

  12. The universe is under no obligation to unfold according to your plans. In fact, it likely won’t. So making peace with that now will definitely make you more pleasant to be around.

  13. Give yourself some grace! Nobody is perfect- and if they were, life would be boring.
