what 2018 taught me
this year was full of opportunities, mistakes, achievements & failures. it has shaped me into the person i am today, and i'm grateful for every moment, good or bad, i got to experience.
i want to share some of the lessons i've learnt throughout the year with you in hope that you can learn from them. i hope at least one thing from my article will influence your life for the better.
lesson number one
you can’t make everyone happy
as someone who is a people pleaser, i realized that i need to start making my decisions based on making myself happy rather than trying to please everyone else around me, which is where the next point comes in.
lesson number two
this is your life to live. therefore, do whatever makes you happy
you’ve probably heard this one a million times before right? but it’s true. whether you believe life is short or long it is your life and the decisions you make in it will determine whether or not you’ll be satisfied with your life.
lesson number three
you can repeat yourself a million times but, someone will only listen to you if they want to listen to you
as frustrating as it can be, as many time as you repeat yourself and as much as you want to just tie that person up and tape their mouth shut so they'll listen to you, they won't hear you unless they want to.
lesson number four
i enjoy my own company
i used to think going out by myself would be lonely and embarrassing but, it’s quite empowering to do things on your own. try it for yourself; go out on a walk or shopping on your own and discover things about yourself you didn’t know before.
lesson number five
smile more
simply the best way to make your year the best it possibly could be, smile more. spend time with people who make you smile. do things that make you smile. eat foods that make you smile. just smile as much as you possibly can!
lesson number six
no matter how bad you feel there's always people who support and love you
what really helped me a lot while going through hard times this year was spending time with people i know that cares about me, it feels good when u know there's people who love you and will do anything to make you feel better. i love my family and i’m so thankful to have them in my life.
lesson number seven
block out negativity
whether it’s people or places block them out! at the end of the day that’s what takes all your happiness away!
lesson number eight
if you work hard you can reach everything you want to
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give up!
