So it is my birthday next week and on Wednesday I will be turning 35! I sort of, kind of, can’t believe it, because I don’t feel any different to when I was in my twenties.
I remember when I was in my twenties looking at people in their mid thirties and thinking how much older they were then me. It is true though they age really is just a number. Though I do find that with every birthday I take a moment for reflection. A mental reflection of where I have been, what I have achieved and where I am going.
With this said I have been thinking bout what I have learnt during the first five years of my thirties and the list if rather interesting…
- Not everyone will like you, and that’s ok.
- Laugh and make people laugh. Spend the with your friends.
- Don’t waste your time trying to get people to like you, ‘your people’ already will.
- Good things grow where energy flows. Choose where you spend your energy wisely.
