11 Life Lessons That Are True At Any Age
Quit chasing
There's a difference between pursuing your goals and being in a constant state of chase.  Things will happen when they’re meant to. Do the best you can each day and be OK with it, knowing that as long as you're moving, your path will unfold.
Don’t be concerned with what others think
Care versus concern.  Big difference.  You’re human.  Not everyone will like you.  Don’t be consumed with what other people think. Remember, it’s only their version of your story.
Dream big, often, and awake.
Don’t be afraid to dream, no matter how big or ridiculous you may think your aspirations are. You're painting your life. Never do it by numbers. Splash. Color outside the lines.
If you’re rich, remember that man makes the money. Money doesn’t make the man.
Know that you're a special blend.
Everything that’s happened to you is what makes you rare and unique.  Know the value of yourself.  Your story makes you rare.
Breathe.
Be kind.
Treat everyone as if they are your brother or sister.  If you don’t like someone, always look inward first.  Hate is wasted energy that will only poison you.  Banish it from your life.
Practice forgiveness and gratitude
Make a conscious effort to forgive all the people who have hurt you.  People think forgiving is one act, but it’s an on-going process.  Forgiveness and gratitude, both muscles.  Exercise them.
If you’re single, embrace it. Don’t soak or wallow.
Love hard or not at all.
Practice transparency.
