20 Things I’ve Learned

As many of you know, I recently turned 20! While this is still such a young age and I have so much to learn throughout this amazing journey we call life…today I wanted to reflect on what life has taught me so far! Some of these are cliches, others are things most of us should know…but all are things we should remember!

1. Take time to compliment others! It will brighten someone’s day as well as your own!
2. Dress cute even if there is no reason to! Everyday is a reason to celebrate!
3. Follow through with your promises!
4. Keep an agenda or planner…you will be amazed by how much stress this relieves.
5. As hard as it may be, sometimes friends are only meant to be in your life for a season. Cue the song “For Good” from Wicked…
6. Find beauty in the little things in life! Doing so will allow you to be more positive!
7. Let failure become a motivator.
8. Sometimes you just have to take life one day, or even one hour, at a time! Difficulties are temporary.
9. Keep your circle small. It’s better to have fewer friends who are loyal.
10. Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game! Anyone else know where this is from?! 🙂
11. It’s easier to be kind than it is to be mean. Keep that in mind…
12. If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it! This definitely applies to how I feel about My Styled Life.
13. Some days will be a complete waste of makeup…put it on anyways, it will make you feel better!
14. Always write a thank you note! In the world of social media, a handwritten note really stands out.
15. Don’t live your life to impress others. This will just lead to unhappiness.
16. Send little notes or texts to your family and friends to let them know you’re thinking of them! It could turn their day around!
17. Listen to your mom…it’s such a cliche, but she is always right! Well, most of the time 😉
18. Don’t wait for someone to buy you flowers! Buy your own and enjoy them!
19. Always give your 110%…that’s right, 110%. You will be amazed at the results of a little extra effort.
20. Take time to laugh!

Thanks for reading!
