How I wish I’d had the self-awareness, confidence, and joy I have now when I was in my twenties and thirties.

So much of life is wasted on worry, regret, pain, and heartache. Of course, some of this is inevitable and necessary. But I spent too many of my younger days sweating over things that really didn’t matter.

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

I suppose “Life Lessons” are called that for a reason. You need to experience life in order to learn the lessons. And the more life you experience, the more lessons you accumulate. As I am entering my #BlissfulForties in less than a month, I am sharing the top 40 Life Lessons I’ve learned on my journey so far.
