Instead of shower thoughts, I have late night before I fall asleep thoughts. One night this past week, I was thinking about the best piece of advice I ever received. I had a ton of different initial thoughts. The next morning, I asked my family what their answer to the question was and every family member said something so dramatically different. I asked others to see what they thought and this is what they said.
Do the hard work now while you are young, but have your fun
Be the nice kid
Listen to what others say but to trust yourself and value your own judgments more than the opinions of others
If you can live your life without an audience, do it
Hope for the best, expect the worst
Marry a rich man who is never home and lets you spend all his money
It is later than you think
If you wait, good things will happen
Think about how you would handle a situation if you were 10 years older, more mature, and more wise, but don’t forget to bring your 10 year old self along and make them happy too
Have more than you show, speak less than you know
Check in on yourself
It is ok to be selfish about your own happiness
Don't try to fit your own seat at a table where you aren't appreciated. Make your own table and people will gravitate towards you
You only have to be good enough for yourself. Not anyone else.
Forgiveness is better than revenge
Take time to get to know yourself
Be patient
Life isn't fair
Be as kind as you can to everyone, you don't know what battles they are fighting
Find joy in the little things
Don't be a victim of your situation
Laugh as much as you can
Find out what is important to you in life and devout your life to it. Don't let others get in the way
Treat people with kindness (#TPWK)
Fairytales can come true, you just have to make them happen
Hold your loved ones close
You are braver and stronger than you know
Don't judge someone based on the opinions of others
Take those crazy chances
Don't hold grudges, life is too short
If is seems scary, then do it. Chances are it will be worth it
When you start loving yourself, everything falls into place
