This week Barbara and Jenna Bush had their letter to Sasha and Malia Obama one that is powerful, well written, and relatable to everyone revealed to the public. Here are the lessons that we all can take away from the letter.
1. Be Grateful For Every Opportunity That is Presented To You
No matter how small or large take every opportunity presented to you and don't take them for granted. They made you who you are today.
2. Explore Your Interests
Whether you're in college, high school, graduate school, or law school, never stop exploring what brings joy to your life. Follow your heart, as this is what will lead you to success and happiness.
3. Ignore The Negatives In Life
There will be people who will try to bring you down and judge you for your decisions. However, the most important thing to remember is who you are as a person, your character, and what you stand for because at the end of the day that is what matters.
4. Travel As Much As You Can
This will allow you to explore your interests more, grow as a person, and see what else is out there in the world.
5. Make Mistakes
You will make millions of mistakes in your lifetime so don't be afraid to face these setbacks because they will allow you to grow more as person.
6. Surround Yourself With Loyal People
Cut out those who are negative and surround yourself with those who are positive and can push you to be the best person you can be. Likewise goes for you as well.
7. Be Grateful For Your Parents
No matter how annoying they can be at times, they are the ones who root for us on the sidelines. They are the ones that have supported us at our lows and highs. Never take for granted all they have done for you.
