Twenty Three.
I recently I turned twenty three and I thought it would be an ideal time to list some of the things I’ve learnt during the 23rd year of my life.
Sometimes you don’t know you’re truly happy until the time has past.
This is something that hit me hard this year. If you ever find yourself in a really great moment, or if you’re just happy with how your life is going in general, try to appreciate that happiness while it’s still there.
The world doesn’t owe you anything
I think this is something we can all forget. We often believe life owes us something. We get mad when things happen that we can’t control and when things don’t go as smoothly as we want them to. Bad things happen and we can only do so much. There’s a quote that I think sums this up, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
Make the most of the youth you have left
Today is the youngest you’ll ever be. So make the most of it while you can. Run, play a sport, even climb a mountain! Simply enjoy how able your body is. You’re never too old to enjoy a walk through the park.
It’s easier to burn a bridge than build one
It can take years to build a strong friendship or relationship with someone but it can take just minutes to destroy. It can be extremely easy to break connections with people. If you appreciate somebody in your life, show them.
Life goes on
Nothing is permanent, the worst times in life will eventually pass and the best times won’t last forever. The best we can do is enjoy where we are in the present and be appreciative for the rich set of experiences that life brings.
