Today is my birthday, so it is time for me to look at the things I have learned. Let’s go.
- Completing your goals will require a lot of work, but will always be worth it.
- You might feel like your life is at its highest or lowest, but things always change. Don’t let your now define your forever.
- You will always be surprised about something. Cherish it.
- You have an impact on everyone around you, so you must use it in the wisest way possible.
- Life comes with hard decisions, but your choices are not ratified instantly. Wait it out.
- Be the person God wants you to be, not the person you think God settles for you to be.
- Always take notes on everything. You will learn and remember more from it.
- Try to take something away from every experience; you never stop learning.
- Read the headlines, but don’t live in them. News is good until it defines your life.
- Learn more about people and ask hard questions. When was the last time someone made you think?
- Sleep is not for the weak. Get some good rest.
- Take a break from technology sometimes. It does wonders for your well-being.
- Take pictures and make memories. The world was made to be beautiful.
- Love is a universal language that everyone can understand.
- Your daily distractions can lead to your difficult defeat.
- Having patience means nothing if you are complaining the whole time.
- Find ways to make someone’s day. Do for one that you wish to do for many.
- Always serve God. Your public and private life should be the same: praise Him continually.
- Validation may be nice, but it only matters if it comes from God. Be yourself, but be like Christ.
I start a new page of my life now. It’s like my very own New Year’s. I pray that this next year will be at least half of the soul-searching, heart-wrenching, life-changing, adventurous year that I had as an 18 year old. But for now, I am glad that I know that the ending is only the beginning.
Hi Trevor,
Happy Birthday from Michael and me! 🙂
