If there's anything I've learned in my two decades...

1. Good things take time.

2. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.

3. If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.

4. Mistakes are proof that you are trying.

5. Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.

6. Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places.

7. Don't go back to something God has already rescued you from.

8. If you don't feel good about you, it's hard to feel good about anything else.

9. It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

10. Celebrate every tiny victory.

11. If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it.

12. You don't get that many people in your life that you can just tell anything to.

13. Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make yours shine any brighter.

14. Gratitude changes everything.

15. You deserve something you don't have to question. You deserve someone who is sure about you.

16. Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is.

17. Never be afraid to fall apart. It is just an opportunity to rebuild yourself.

18. Find beauty in the ugliest days.

19. What you give power to, has power over you.

20. All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my parents.
