Looking back at the 26 years, 10 months, 5 days of my Life

In 58 days im turning 27 years old and during this years i've learned so much. Here are 27 LESSONS, LIFE taught me at 26.

1. Trust is a hard thing to gain back. I have lied to for many times in the past and I have learned how easily it is to lose that trust and how hard it is to gain back.

2. Money isn't everything but it is still something. I came from a middle class family, we were not poor but also not rich. My 2 sisters and i were on college almost at the same time so we had to work our way through college. Money can't buy you love or true happiness, but it can give you choices.

3. Bad things happen to good people. Im not saying that im that good but i've never done something so bad to go through the things i've been through in my life.

4. Life is unfair. There are rich people and there are poor people. Some are born healthy, some are born with defects. Some are lucky, some are so unlucky. This is life, and we cannot change it. Life isn't fair, but it’s still good, we just have to accept it and move on.

5. You don’t always get what you want. I wanted to be a doctor, design clothes, writer perhaps or be a chef, but i never had the oppurtunity to do so. While I’m still working on some of these things, I realize you don’t always get what you want when you want it, even if you work tirelessly on it and have great ambition.

6. Pay off your credit cards every month. Had to learn this the hard way.

7. Changes in life are inevitable. We just have to deal with it. “If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living.”

8. Acting like a child is always fun but we all need to grow up. If you’re not growing in life, you are simply living out your days.

9. Even when you feel like you have nothing, someone else likely has far less. Contentment brings happiness in life, we should all cherish what we already have, instead of wanting more. 

10. Life is full of fun if you learn to play with difficulties. Nothing in life comes easy. To be human is to make mistakes.

11. It’s the simple things in life that really made me happy. Looking back the times where i really laughed hard or had the most fun was when i was doing the simplest things.

12. It really is better to give than to receive. I love the feeling of being able to give, whether it be my time, money, attention, or whatever.

13. Karma is digital. I loved this phrase, what goes around, comes aroud. when you helped someone, that help will come back to you.

14. Never change for anybody because someone out there is looking for someone like you.

15. Never regret, if it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. 

16. Hard work will always pay off in the end. I can say that what i am and i have today is because of the hardships I've been through in my life. 

17. If you lie, you will get caught. No matter what.

18. We all need help, no matter how strong we are. As the popular saying goes, No man is an island.

19. Destiny is a matter of choice, not chance. Every decision we make will affect our future, i am what i am today because of the choices i made in my life.

20. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

21. The person that will make you the happiest, will also make you the saddest.

22. Take lots of pictures. Someday you’ll be really glad you did. 

23. Love yourself first. The more you love yourself, the more you will be able to give love to others.

24. Laughter is the best medecine. 

25. Stop trying to impress people by being someone you're not because in the end, you'll lose yourself.

26. Enjoy life now. As I look back at my last 26 years of life, there were so many special moments that came and went. I wish I would of sat back and enjoyed the moments more. 

27. Experience is the greatest teacher of all. The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced.

To know that despite the fact that we may make mistakes along the way, when we look back on where we have been, we will be able to see just how far we have come. Our views and beliefs are more developed, our understanding of our purpose is becoming clearer, and overall we are just living today in a better way than we did yesterday.
