Life Lessons:
 What I learned in my 20's!

There is just something about those 20 something's! We get so excited about becoming of age; we forget about the process. Here comes 18 and then 21, and then life starts to really happen. We were in such a hurry to do grown up things, until things are not as fun anymore and not going our way. No one is ever really prepared for adulthood, until the struggles, obstacles, lessons that we face starts to get real. That's apart of life, we figure it out along the way and keep moving forward. I would never wish I knew certain things sooner! For I am a student learning from the worlds most challenging teacher, Life. Learning from our mistakes is how we grow and then we make the adjustments from there. Now that I am officially 30, I can say your 20's are definitely your learning moments. Appreciate them! Here are a few life lessons I learned in my 20's.

1. Everyone learns the hard way.
There is no getting around this theory. I cant stress it enough, how many times I bumped my head; forcing things in life to be, that simply just were not meant to be. As I journed through my 20's, I was finally able to place acceptance towards the phrase, "You have to crawl before you walk". Had I not mastered crawling in my 20's, I would have never learned to stand, use my two feet and walk into my destiny! Some of the most wise and valuable advice comes from those who come before us; our parents, elders, mentors etc... Don't be too quick to shun the advice away. Yes you will make mistakes, but God gives us second chances to get it right.

2. You don't have to have all the answers to life right now.
I thought I needed to have life figured out in my 20's. I needed to know my purpose, career goals, have a nice car, apartment, material things; Hey, I even thought I should be married before 30 or so I thought. Little did I know I didn't know anything! I didn't have definite answers until my late 20's. That goes to show life pulls us in many directions; but in the end there is ultimately one way to go, Forward. God called you to carry out many particular task in life for a reason, just for you. Even if you don't have all the answers right away, be willing to be lead and learn as you go.  

3. You have to be Humble.
There is no way I could got this far in life without humbling myself before God, my experiences and aspects of life. There is so much more to life besides yourself that you should be fighting for. Don't forget to be patient, selfless, teachable and most of all grateful for all things and people that cross your path.   

4. Make yourself a Priority.
Always be willing to help others but don't forget to do the same for yourself. Be good to yourself, your mind body and soul! There is no better reward, than giving yourself what you need to help yourself prosper in life. As you start to put yourself first, you can be and do many things for others! You cannot give to others what you don't first give to yourself! 

5. Don't expect more than one can give.
There are people in your life, that you expect more from because you think highly of them; and that's a good thing, but don't expect too much where it consumes your energy. Sometimes people can deliver and sometimes they cannot. When that is the case, you are either left satisfied or disappointed. In reality, you are simply expecting too much from someone, than they could give. Also, what you need from certain people, they either don't have it to give or don't want to. Treat your expectations in people accordingly so no one gets hurt. When the tables are turned, only do what you can and don't feel bad about it.

6. Stay true to yourself.
A wise man once said, "Do the things that make you, you". Having that mentality helped me to stay true to myself. Who I am, my strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes and everything in-between. Those are the things that makes me, me. Everyone has certain qualities that set them aside from others. Stand firm on those qualities and embrace yourself for who you are!



7. Trusting the process.
The process is the good, bad and ugly! Its just simply the matter of letting go and trusting it. There are so many things in life beyond our control, and some things within our control as well. Everything happens for a reason! Do not focus on what you cannot fix, focus on what you can. Its your world, start creating what you want for yourself.
