34 Things I Know, Now That I’m 34…

Never stop being a good person because of bad people.
Your worst battle will always be between what you know and what you feel. Go with the latter.
Never let success get to your head. Never let failure get to your heart.
Your time is best spent with people who make you see the world differently – not with those who flatter your view.
Two things you’re going to need in life: hope and purpose.
Nothing changes, if nothing changes.
Find someone who speaks your language, so you don’t have to spend a lifetime translating your spirit.
Own your choices.
You need at least one friend in your life who understands what you do not say.
Get uncomfortable. As often as possible.
Some people may not deserve your love, but it doesn’t mean they don’t need it.
Mostly, it’s the will, not the skill, that will be the difference.
Be alone, more often than you’d like. It’s good for you.
Positivity is a choice. And the happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
Being broken doesn’t give you the right to break other people.
Be louder.
The secret of your future is hidden in the habits of your daily routine.
You give life to what you give energy to.
Be afraid, but do it anyway.
Perspective is everything, perception is just a lie.
Never go too long without watching a sunset.
Don’t put your happiness in other people’s hands. They’ll drop it. Every time.
Only boring people get bored.
It’s not a coincidence that the happiest people are the ones that do the most for others.
Follow the flame from the fire that burns inside you, and you will always feel the light.
Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Every day is a special occasion.
Only insecure people judge others.
No one else knows what they’re doing either.
You must know your worth, and not discount it.
You do not have to unscrew another person’s light bulb in order to shine.
If you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you. And that’s power.
The wound may not be your fault, but the healing is your responsibility.
It doesn’t matter who you’ve been, or what you’ve done – all that matters is who you want to become.
In a world full of fish, be a shark.
