Or, maybe, you need to convince yourself of these things now…
- Don’t ever let anyone talk you out of trusting your heart (take your head with you too)
- You will feel more at peace when spending more time in nature
- Stop trying to plan everything—be more spontaneous
- No one else knows what they’re doing either; they’re just better at faking it
- You don’t have to know everything about someone to love them with your whole heart
- Look into a person’s eyes when speaking with them (or in silence)—they speak volumes
- Keep an open mind always—your way of thinking or doing is not the only way or even the right way; people who can’t see beyond their own opinions go nowhere
- You can’t love people with conditions and call it love
- You can’t love people only when it’s convenient or easy for you
- Telling someone you love them while closing the door on them is cowardly
- Soul mates are not just spouses, partners or lovers; look and listen as they are all around
- Surround yourself with those who don’t consider you an option
- Be honest
- Don’t make anyone feel invisible
- People are most beautiful in some of their darkest moments
- Embrace vulnerability
- It’s okay to ask for help; it’s not weak but rather a sign of bravery to acknowledge your limitations
- Read & write daily
- Invest in yourself
- Spend time in silence and don’t be afraid to spend time alone
- You will never be good enough in some people’s eyes, including your parents—quit trying to please them all of the time and live your own life
- Don’t be too timid; you will miss out on a lot
- Protect your friends
- Stop hiding emotions
- Confidence, effort and conversation are vital and sexy
- Be happy—only you can bring happiness to your life—make wise choices
- Love whole, love long, love hard (don’t always play it so safe), love unconditionally
- Live in gratitude daily
- Be kind, be compassionate, be the light you wish to see
