Ten Lessons I Learned From 2023

1. You receive everything you subconsciously believe you are worthy of receiving.

Keyword here is 'subconscious', and this takes practice & time - affirmations, journaling, meditation, visualization, consistently doing what you promised yourself you would do, etc. In fact, our subconscious mind influences 95% of our life. So do what you gotta do to get there!

2. Rejection = redirection.

Whatever you think you missed out on or 'failed' in, they are happening for you. Something greater always result from your s0-called setbacks. You just have to let your long-term vision take over your emotions in the moment.

3. Focus on what you can offer versus what you want to get, you then tend to get what you want much more quickly.

Mainstream media has misled way too many people to feel entitled of getting certain treatments or rewards when they bring nothing to the table - at work, in dating, or even among friends. No one is obliged to do anything for anyone, so try bringing something before you request.

4. Your growth will cost you tears, sweat and relationships.

The good news is no time, energy or tears you spend improving yourself is ever wasted. And no one who truly deserves to stay in your life, and are genuinely happy for how far you have came in life will ever leave.

5. When in doubt, show up as your authentic self.

We live in a world where most people are consuming what their push notifications are feeding into their faces, everyone wants to look certain way, dress certain way, go to certain places, do certain things.. just so they they can say they have made it. Take time to figure out what makes you you - your assets and your intrinsic value. Imitation/comparison only makes you lackluster, and you will always feel insecure and a sense of lack.

6. You are your biggest cheerleader, confidant and life coach.

We luckily also live in an abundant world from which we can draw inspirations and resources constantly. However, no one will ever be there for you as you being there for yourself. No one can ever change your self-concept, ease your pain, heal your wounds, guide you to your higher purpose than you. Be extra kind to yourself.

The quality of our life is determined by the quality of our relationships. So below are 3 lessons from 3 key areas we form relationships that affect our lives daily .

7. Career: over prepare always. Your charisma surely helps, but that alone will never take you far in the professional world.

8. Romance & family: express and communicate appreciation, gratitude & love often and proactively. Take nothing for granted.

9. Friendship: the older you get, the fake or incompatible ones tend to fade away. Cherish the real ones & keep them close.

Lastly...

10. Life is really just here for you to experience it ALL.

Put yourself out there, get outside of your comfort zone, try new things, learn new lessons. Dust yourself up when you are down, celebrate fully when you are high - when you love life unconditionally, life never disappoints you 😉

Cheers to 2024 & allll we get to experience!!!🥂
