30 Things I’ve Learned in 30 Years

Every morning on my birthday, I journal about things I’m grateful for and what I’ve learned in the past year. I turned 30 back in November, and I made a list of 30 things I’ve learned in 30 years in my journal. 2020 was definitely my year of reconnecting to my spirituality which is reflected in this list. This year has been off to a challenging start for me, and re-reading this yesterday helped me. I hope you will find value in it too!

  1. Cultivate a sense of trust that everything is unfolding in your life exactly as it should.

  2. Never stop striving to be more, yet always remember that you are enough exactly as you are.

  3. Perfection doesn’t exist. Learn to accept and be at peace with good enough.

  4. There are forces in the Universe beyond our comprehension that are conspiring to help us.

  5. You can trust yourself or you can control yourself, but you can’t do both.

  6. Challenging times are a part of life’s curriculum. When you welcome them with open arms, life gets easier and more enjoyable.
