hey guys thanks for tuning into this video I know this week is kind of a
weird off week since it is my birthday week so it's been a little bit of
different stuff but next week I promise you Briana Cole back into the more
normal content but I have learned a lot over these last 25 years and some of it
I've learned while traveling some of it just trial and error of just living life
and making mistakes and some of it I've learned from other people by listening
to my elders and people around me so these are 25 things I've learned in last
25 years there are so many more lessons that I've learned over these years on
this earth but I wanted to keep it short for you guys share with me what are some
of your biggest life lessons that you've learned sharing with down below and
which one was your favorite that I get brought up in this video alright let's
get to the video
one it's okay to ask for help you are a strong independent woman but even the
strongest trees need help from the Sun and rain to grow into an even stronger
and more beautiful tree that will stand the test of time for hundreds of years
to come you dear are that tree one day I will
share with you guys a story of when I lived into visa hands-down the worst
time of my life on my 25 years on this planet and it all
could have been resolved in a matter of days if I just would have asked for help
to save up and invest in yourself and others as we are all connected we all
know we need to save money but then we lack the knowledge to know how to invest
that money to grow into a meaningful pile to follow our dreams into how
financial freedom invest in yourself whether that means taking courses to
expand your knowledge on things you don't know and invest in other people's
courses because we are all connected it's okay to be single it's okay to be
single there's nothing wrong with you take this time to become a better you to
attract an even better next if that's what you desire be frugal not cheap
frugal is deciding to take public transportation to save a little bit on
your miles and gas money being cheap is walking for miles to save a buck 50 to
not take a bus frugal is optimizing your money and your time at the same time
being cheap is wasting your time to save a buck 50 be frugal not cheap it's okay
to say no to plans when you need it some self-loving there will be more parties
and events you only have one mind one body one face
so take care of it most things are not as embarrassing as you think they are
over the grand scheme of things something embarrassing that will happen
to you today will not matter in tenure so don't beat yourself up about it
so much if the person you like leaves you remotely confused about if they like
you or not they don't move on he is either
not that into you or can't express himself emotionally
either way run best advice I think on this whole thing wear sunscreen even if
your melon ated you need to wear it stop googling your symptoms calm down you
most likely don't have cancer it's just an ingrown hair finish that degree if
you want to a lot of people feel very accomplished by finishing a degree a lot
of people feel very accomplished by not having fifty dollars in debt because of
it don't feel pressured to do either one do not stress at your job as much as you
do the reality is if you were to drop dead tomorrow
your job posting would be posted the very next day take care of yourself okay
it is okay to be scared and worried about something new that is happening in
your life you cannot grow if you do not take that
leap of faith so do it take accountability for how
your life is no one else is to blame for the life that you currently have not
your parents not the government and not your eggs we all choose to an extent the
life we live everything is a choice and when you choose to be happy is when you
will be happy surround yourself with people you want
to be like if you want to work in a certain industry hang out around those
people in that industry go places where they would go you'd be surprised how
soon you end up in that industry without even realizing it not everything is what
it seems on Instagram the most depressed people on the earth have the biggest
smiles they don't show the tears the pain and the fear on Instagram so don't
be jealous of people on Instagram it's okay to not know what the future holds
wouldn't it be really boring if we knew exactly what was going to happen to us
it's all about the journey so enjoy the journey enjoy learning and enjoy making
mistakes because I'm sure you're gonna make a lot of them failure is not always
a bad thing and whoever told you that was not successful
when you fail you learn about all the mistakes you made so you don't make them
again so fail my friends fail fail and fail again exercise it's great for your
physical health as well as your mental health and emotional health so make it a
habit make it fun and find yourself a really awesome instructor that will
motivate you or an accountability partner I am currently looking for one
so if you are in the Omaha area let me know in the comments listen more and
talk less you're not always right and even though you might think you are
listen to what other people have to say analyze it and you don't always have to
do what they say or agree but just listen and try to understand travel as
much as you can and if you can't that often at least go somewhere new every
year Travel makes you in a more accepting
person and it teaches you about the variety of people lifestyles and
cultures all around you it is an experience that is well worth saving for
let go of things you cannot control I used to stress out so much about my
friends making it really really unhealthy and bad habits you can either
stress out until the rest of your days about their bad habits it's their body
it's their life it's their decision or you can let it go and be a supportive
friend to them the government this new policy that my boss is a douche let it
go take a trip somewhere it sounds a really
fufu but gratitude multiplies happiness consciously focusing on all the things
you have rather than thinking and all the things you don't have is so much
better use of your brainpower gratitude 100% Foster's positivity and well-being
uh-huh listen to your gut your judgment is so important but your intuition
superchargers that judgement intuition is data from your
subconscious mind based on past experiences and patterns and life so if
your gut is telling you it's wrong and this person is bad for you
listen don't fight it how many of these same types of people have to hurt you
before you finally listen to your gut it's a pattern it's not gonna change go
with the flow more plan less I remember when I was 19 I always reference this
age when I was 19 because that was the year of just so much change for me and
just tons of growth but I remember when I was 19 before I left for Spain I
remember studying my life up and playing everything I was gonna do and when I was
25 I said I would be married with three kids and a little dog and I don't have a
house and I would marry a military man and my life would be so perfect and my
career would be on point and none of that stuff happened and I'm just so
thankful that none of that happened and I'm single at 25 and I'm healthy and I'm
happy and I followed the flow and I've done so much and I've seen so many
things and I've met so many people and that to me is a lot more valuable than
just getting married and having a house and a dog so just plan less man and go
with the flow of life and be okay with it
everything does happen for a reason it's never too late to start this is an
excuse for not trying great things can be accomplished at any age telling
yourself otherwise it's a sure way to remain stuck and frustrated simplify
your life life is full of complications obligations and an overwhelming schedule
make life more difficult and stressful clear out your closet get rid of the
clutter in your house you don't need 50 pairs of shoes there are some extreme
minimalists in the world but when I tell you having very few things in your life
makes you a lot happier it is the truth
