33 Things I Learned In 33 Years

Well, today I made another year! I'm 33 years old today and honestly every year I'm asked how does it feel? It feels the same as it did 3 years ago.  The only difference is I'm a year older and I'm wiser than I was last year. I'm not much of a huge celebrator. I'm just grateful to see another year. But this had to be my first birthday celebratory blog post where I wanted to share 33 things I've learned in my 33 years of living.  So I hope you are inspired and enjoy this post.

1. Don't ever harvest hate & bitterness in your heart. I'm not a hateful or bitter person. I tend to let things go fast but sometimes I don't squash the issue. I think it's very important to squash your issues and don't ever go to sleep without talking to the person that you had a disagreement with.
2. Don't ever underestimate the gift that God has given to you. 
3. Silence sometimes is more powerful than letting your voice be heard. 
4. If someone doesn't want to be around you just let them walk. BE FREE!
5. Work is work. Do your job and get out. 
6. Do what you are passionate about.
7. Don't ever compare your life to someone else's life. 
8. If you don't like something CHANGE IT!
9. It is totally ok to say, NO!
10. Choose your battles. Being right shouldn't be your ultimate goal.
11. Always take time out for yourself. 
12. You can't live your life trying to please everyone. SERIOUSLY, It is impossible!
13. Do what you can, not what you can't...
14. Set goals and journal them
15. Be kind to everyone. You never know where or when that person will show up in your life again. 
16. You have to crawl before walking and you have to walk before running. 
17. Don't ever take life for granted
18. Don't live your life in fear.
19. In everything that you do, do it with urgency. 
20. You only have one body...take care of the one that you have. 
21. Know that you are constantly learning. 
22. Accept, Embrace, and Celebrate change. 
23. You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you!
24. Appreciate how far you have come in life
25. Be a good steward of your finances
26. I am responsible for my own happiness
27. Surround yourself with people that inspire you
28. Be accountable for your actions
29. Send Thank you Notes! They are greatly appreciated. 
30. Be the change that you want to see
31. If it doesn't make money, it doesn't make sense.
32. Say "I Love You" more because tomorrow is not promised.
33. Take care of your skin, and later on, your skin will take care of you!

So these are the 33 Things I learned in 33 years!  I've learned so much more than what I listed but these were the most important to me at the moment. What are some things that you've learned over the years?
