25 LIFE LESSONS I LEARNT BEFORE TURNING 25!

Firstly, I like to say that I am 25…YAY!! I am super excited and looking forward to what the year has in store for me. It is kinda sad to realize I got to the mid-twenties but as everyone says, Age is just a number. A lot of moments and events had happened in these 25 years which shaped me and grew me to the person that I am today. So, let me give you what I learned my whole life.

1) My life is special and that I have a story to tell – This life that has been given to me has a certain purpose and everyday I have been exploring that purpose and it has made me feel complete to accomplish those. And also, as I have written on my other blog that we are storytellers, I rely on it so much these days where I feel unique and special from the inside. And that is where my happiness lies.

2) Everything happens for a reason – And you may not know that reason for it at the very moment but eventually if you connect all the dots, it would make more sense. Trust me.

3) You are your own companion – You may have hundreds of good friends & family but when you don’t love your own company first, then whatever you do will feel incomplete.

4) Money is not everything

5) Time is very precious but we have very little of it

6) Come back stronger – Whenever trials and storms occur in my life, I take time to process everything but I wanted to come back stronger that I have the will power to fight that situation and to walk with confidence.

7) Be prepared for both good and bad

8) Travel a lot – Even though I haven’t travelled a lot, travelling to me rejuvenates my mind, makes me more happy & refreshing. So need to do more of it.

9) Learn, Learn, Learn – Recently, I’ve been wanting to learn more about everything - countries, instruments, music, technical stuff, random facts, etc... It makes me think that there are infinite things happening around us but we have a very little time to learn and explore.

10) Impress yourself first

11) Know your love language

12) Magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone

13) Be humble – When you start to believe that all of what you accomplish and what you pursue is not by your efforts but by grace….then you will have no choice but to stay humble.

14) You are not designed for everyone to like you

15) Love people more – If these couple of years have taught us something that will be to love and cherish people when they are still around

16) Life is uncertain

17) Speak your opinions out

18) It is okay to pause and plan things slowly – Never rush for the sake of others. I have been taking a break and spending time with my family for months now and I am discovering my new interests and knowing more about myself.

19) Don’t be quick to judge

20) There’s real truth to the saying “You can accomplish anything you set your mind to”

21) Embrace your inner beauty – Be comfortable in your own skin and you will be beautiful. Embrace it!

22) Giving is better than receiving

23) Accept your mistakes – No one is perfect and you will know the right thing when you do wrongs. But be patient to accept your mistakes and grow from it.

24) At times, your heart knows more than your mind

25) Feeling grateful for even the little things – I don’t know how 25 years rolled by. But thinking of all the moments that got me here, I cannot feel anything but be grateful to God. He led me here and he has not let me down for once because I am being confident that He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus!

I’d like to end here by saying,

“Appreciate what you have before time makes you appreciate what you had.”

I hope this made your day as I always say!
