27 Lessons I've Learned in 27 Years(That I Wish Someone Told Me)
Read the rest here

1.You are your own hero.
You are the only person in your life that can save you. You have to be the one that pulls yourself up by your shoelaces and carries on when you'd rather give up, because no one else is going to be there for you like you will. As much as you want someone to pick you up and fix everything for you, the only person that can truly make that difference in your life is yourself.

2. Don't start "someday", start today. Is there a new hobby you would like to try, a language to learn, or a marathon you'd love to run? Do you have a long list of goals that you keep telling yourself that you will "someday" do? Start today. If you want to run a marathon or learn a new language, take those first steps and learn those first words today. Tomorrow, add on to what you started with today and continue with those small steps everyday. Looking back a year from now (someday) you will be happy you started today.

3. Excuses turn into regrets.
Making an excuse not to do something will lead to a whole list of excuses; that will lead to a whole path lined with what you should and could have done but didn't do. Don't make excuses and miss out on opportunities that may never come again. Take a deep breath, face your challenges, and do what you need to do in order to ensure your dreams become a reality. Taking uncomfortable chances feels a lot better than making excuses that lead to regret and thoughts on what "could have been" and "should have been."

4. No one cares: stop worrying so much about what people think. People are too busy to notice your bad hair day or that you're five minutes late. No one is watching you or laughing at you because they are too obsessed with thinking and worrying about themselves and what others think about them.


5. People do care.
Contrary to what I just said, there are people out there that do care about you and support you. Whether it be your significant other, your mother, other family members, a random coworker, or an acquaintance online, there are people out there that care about how you're feeling or whether you've had enough to eat. No matter how alone you may feel I can guarantee that there is someone on this planet that holds you in a piece of their heart.

6. Trust your gut. If you're walking down the street and you getting this nagging feeling in your gut that you shouldn't walk any farther, listen to it. Listen to this feeling about new people you meet, about opportunities that come up, and about anything else that randomly badgers your attention. Every time I've ignored this feeling, something bad has happened. Just listen and trust your intuition because this reptilian function of your body is there to keep you safe.
