Lessons along the way...

Reflecting today as I sit here pondering life and all that good stuff.

Last month it was my birthday and I celebrated 50 years on this planet. Now I've no idea what I'm supposed to feel like at 50 but people keep asking me all the same LOL.

To be honest it feels no different from 40, if anything I'm better than ever. So, here's a list of 10 things I wish I'd known earlier.

1. Celebrate the small wins, even the ones you don't think are worth celebrating, they all lead to the same bigger picture

2. Someone else's bad behavior is not about you, it's a reflection of their inner world and how they're coping.

3. If someone or something triggers you, be curious and explore why it's trying to teach you something.

4. Don't accept average, raise your standards YOU deserve better

5. Not everyone will like you and that's ok

6. The most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself ??

7. I'm not the star of anyone else's show - they are.

8. My body deserves to be treated with respect

9. Life happens for me NOT to me

10. A simple smile can change the course of someone's day.

I'm really excited about the next chapter of my life and what it's going to bring, and to be honest, I'm only getting started ??

What have you learned as you've gotten older, I'd love to know.

Cheers Toni
