Almost 30 And Wise - Life Lessons 20-11

Today is my last day in my 20s!!!! I'm still accepting gifts all month. I know some of yall don't get paid until next week. I'm completing all my ain't shitness tonight so I can be wise in the morning.  If you haven't read Lessons 30-21 please check them out here first. Let’s the countdown continue with  20-11

20. Drink More Water – It’s really crazy that I have to tell anyone this. You're an adult drink water. Today’s world just does not focus on the health we need until it is too late. The older we get health is probably the most important element. Let’s exercise more, eat healthier, so in our old age we can just chill. You only have one body, exercise more, stop eating the junk and DRINK MORE WATER!!!

19. Make Your Only Competition...You  – Again this society has a way of making us compete but when you focus on being happier, healthier, wiser etc. than you were last year there is absolutely no way you can lose. The fact that I can say I am the best Lauren yet at the age 30, I feel like I am successful.

18. Trust the Timing of God -   Things will always happen exactly when they are supposed to and we won’t understand why it is happening. It isn’t until we get more pieces to the puzzle that we realize it was all working in our favor. Again allow whatever is being taken from you to go without resistance you just might be blessed with something great. Trust.

17. No one is perfect – That includes you. I do not understand this notion of perfection that we try and achieve. It’s ok because none of us are and none of us will ever be. None of us really know what we are doing anyway. Just like you are trying to guide through life the next person is probably struggling the same. Let’s end this idea of perfection and just embrace our uniqueness.

16. Let Go of Thinking Won’t Be Happy As Soon As You (insert whatever here) – You won’t finally be happy when you find a get in a relationship. You won’t finally be happy when you move. You won’t finally be happy when you lose weight. Happiness is something that happens now. So be happy now.

15. You cannot change people – The moment I started accepting people for who they are my relationships got better. This isn’t condoning bad/toxic behavior because as a friend we have to do everything to help but it is accepting we shouldn’t make someone into something they are not. Accept people exactly how they because that’s how God made them and only when they are truly ready to change they will.

14. Love People From a Distance, Sometimes – This ties into accepting people as they are. Sometimes we do face friends/relatives who just refuse to change. You cannot change them and sometimes their negative energy will most certainly affects yours negatively. This point you have to just remove them from your space and just love them from a distance. It does not mean you love them any less but you have to protect yourself first.

13. Remember Perception  – If you have a point in a circle and everyone sat on the circumference not one person would see that point the same. Not one. The people next to you will have the most similar view while the person farthest will see something completely different. If we all realize that all our lives play out like this and learn that sometimes perspectives will be different. We should learn to understand all these perspectives instead of bashing what we do not understand.

12. Watch What You Speak – Writing your intentions down is powerful but speaking them, even thinking them may be the most powerful manifestation ever. It is amazing how we speak so many things into existence and still speak negatively. Stop the negative thinking and talking and focus on what you want.

11. Find Your Passion and Don’t Stop – One of the most common misconceptions with finding your passion is the belief that you have to get paid for it. Trust me that is ideal but it can be just a hobby as well. Just do what you love whether you have to wake up to a 9-5 that has nothing to do with your passion. As long as you figure out why you are here and then do it till you die you lived a great life.


Be sure to check back tomorrow I'll be wise as shit.
