WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN 32 YEARS

It's been three days since I turned 32! Oooooh yeah! And I've been doing this for about 10 years now! I started writing down life lessons when I was 22, even before I launched this blog site. And I can't believe I'm still doing it...though this year, the post was three days late! Hahaha!

There are so many things going on in my mind (yet again!) and you know what I instinctively do when that happens, right? Yup - I sit down, shut up and just write!

I started drafting these life lessons months ago, but for some legit reasons, I wasn't able to finalize it before my birthday this year!!! So, to redeem my self-esteem, here goes my new list of life lessons! The ones inside quotation marks are borrowed from my favorite motivational speakers. I've been listening to a few motivational speakers from YouTube or podcasts for the last few months and trust me when I say, sometimes, they're the only reason I can get off my butt on really tough days. If I'm still standing arrogantly, it's because of their words that never fail to hit home. It kinda feels like getting therapy for FREE - I think that's exactly how it feels! 

See if you can learn from or relate with any of these. And don't forget to share your thoughts in the comment section below once you're done reading! Cheers!
