Today is my birthday. I have now lived on this planet for 24 years which has given me a lot of knowledge about life but far from enough. However, I would want to share with you what I've learnt so far.
1. Age doesn't define who you are. Some people grow up quicker than others and just because you're 20 years younger than someone doesn't mean you know less.
2. It's important to admit you're wrong when you are. No one is perfect and the quicker you realise that the happier you'll be because it will encourage you to grow.
3. It is never to late to change your game plan. During a game, things change constantly. This means that you sometimes have to change the way you are playing. There is no point sticking to the original plan if that's not working. You need to adjust and adapt to the situation.
4. Don't give up on people too easily. Some people simply go through rough patches in life, I do at least. This doesn't mean you should give up on them. It might mean you need to sit down with them and talk to them about the situation but there is no need to just let them go.
5. Despite the previous point; don't hang on to people that are negative in your life. What I mean by this is that if someone simply have a negative influence on your life you should just let them go. This might be hard but it's like kicking an addiction. It's extremely important to get rid of because it will only harm you.
6. Never stop learning. Do I have to say more? Are brains can store a lot of information so use this! Don't let your potential go to waste because you are lazy.
7. Be yourself. I know this is cliché but to me this is the most important thing to remember. If you make friends with people because you are someone else you will soon realise that these friends won't make you happy so it's better to be alone and be yourself or be in a room full with people and pretending to be something else.
8. Your past doesn't define you. As you get older, you change and the things that you've done before stops to matter. Your past has shaped you into who you are now so it will always be with you but clinging on to it will only harm you. Live in the present because that's the only thing you have power over.
9. Tell people you love them. Well, only if you do. Everyone needs to hear that they are liked and means something to others so be the person who appreciates your friends.
10. Finally, in the spirit of today, don't think your birthday is anything special. You just happen to be born on that day. You'll get lots of messages from people you never talk to which is nice but the people that you actually want in your life are the people that send you messages the other days of the year too.
