Now into my 30s, my heart has grown a few sizes larger and overflows with motherly love as I've discovered what matters most in life. And my entrepreneurial experiences have been a crash course in lessons of life, business and self that, at times, brought me to the brink of what I thought I could handle, only to be rewarded nicely for sticking it out and seeing it through.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">As I continue to step more fully into myself each day and bring to light my mission of helping others build their own dreams with joy and ease, I've racked my brain to think of my top 37 life lessons so far.

Turns out, it's been an inside job all along. Go inward.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be grateful for everything.</strong> The good, the bad, the ugly. Our entire life is a precious gift. The pleasure, the pain -- it's all part of our path.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Subtle shifts in perception will transform your entire life.</strong> When feeling fearful, angry, hurt, simply choose to see a situation differently.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In being true to yourself, you can't possibly make everybody else happy.</strong>Still, it's better to risk being disliked for living your truth than to be loved for what you are pretending to be.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The world is our mirror. </strong>What we love in others is a reflection of what we love about ourselves.

The more someone rubs us the wrong way, the greater the lesson. Take notes.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Trust.</strong> In troubled times, just know that the Universe has your back and everything is going to be alright. If you're not there yet, trust in hindsight you will understand. Your higher good is being supported, always.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Never take things personally. </strong>What others do is a reflection of what's going on in their own life and probably has little or nothing to do with you.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A walk in nature cures a lot. </strong>Taking in some fresh air and the beautiful landscape of this earth is amazingly head-clearing, grounding, and mood-lifting. Bonus: You can learn a whole lot about life in your observation of the awesomeness which is nature.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hurt people hurt people. </strong>Love them anyway.

Ease up. Strive for excellence, sure, but allow yourself room to make mistakes and permission to be happy regardless of outcome.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Take the blinders off. </strong>Don't become so laser-focused on your own goals and desires that you miss out on the beauty in life and the people around you. The world is stunningly beautiful when you walk around with eyes wide open.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Celebrate the journey. </strong>It's not all about the destination.

Listen to the quiet whisper of your heart. It knows the way.</li><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><li style="border: 0px; list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0px 0px 4px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Let your soul shine! </strong>Be authentic.

You don't have to buy into any of it. Feel free to peel back the layers. Think for yourself. Break the mold. When you stop doing what everybody else wants you to do and start following your own intuition, you will be ridiculously happy.</li></ol><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">In looking back at your own life, realize that every high and low is all part of your amazing story. Own it! Take cues and guidance from the universe and you will continue to go on an incredible ride as you fully step into your truth and power.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">Age is just a number, but the higher it gets, the more wisdom and life experience we've amassed.

So embrace it, love it, and enjoy it fully!</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">Here's to many more beautiful years of seeking-truth, questioning all that does not sit right, and making your greatest impact in the world!
