Right, I have decided to start making lists. Usually, I am not a "list" person and generally try to avoid them (even when going shopping!). I am not sure why I have this aversion to lists - I guess I have never found a use for them really...until now. But recently, I have been finding lists useful especially when looking back over my life. They have helped me to calm down somewhat when I get frantic about not achieving anything in my life. In July this year, I turned 30 which was a big step and it triggered another panicked session of trying to figure out what I have achieved in the last 30 years (other than living). So I decided to start with looking at the lessons I have learnt through everyday life and how they have shaped me into who I am today. The 10 things I have listed are nothing profound or new, but I have found the process of thinking them through interesting - it was not easy narrowing it down to just 10 but these are the ones I want to share with you.
1. Every new day presents a new opportunity to make yourself better.
2. Falling in love is easier than staying in love.
3. Some friends are not meant to be your friends forever.
4. Life is too short to hold grudges.
5. Everyone has opinions - and no one opinion is better than anyone elses'.
6. You have every right to be selfish...sometimes.
7. Laughing is the best high you can ever give yourself. And its free!!
8. Never judge a person until you have had a conversation with them - it might surprise you!
9. Nostalgia can be a dangerous thing - things were not necessarily better before.
10. Taking the time to find your passion in life is the most valuable thing you will ever do.
