Things I've Learned That School Didn't Teach Me....

Day 23 of The Challenge :

"Things You've Learned That School Won't Teach You"

if you're not happy it just isn't worth it....in love or in life

don't be afraid to say no. Equally....don't be afraid to say yes

at 18 you might not know what you want to be.....

by 30 or even 40, you still might not know....that's okay.

You will have go along many paths, you will learn something from them all (even if it might not feel like it at the time) and eventually you will find your thing

some people are not meant to be your friends forever....

people do change, you will change

sometimes it's okay to move on. it happens.

the people that are meant to move on with you, do

just because you were a sad or unhappy child does not mean you will be a sad or unhappy grown up. life does get better 

if you get the chance to travel or to have an adventure, always always say yes. always.

good grades & university degrees are wonderful things

so are kindness, thoughtfulness and respect

things don't stay the same, change is good, it's healthy

there is a special place for mean people

they might seem to get away with the bad behaviour now but you wait & see.

it's called karma   

  

do not spend your time focusing on pleasing others....

it's a waste of time & chances are they won't notice anyway.

it is YOU that needs to be happy with your decisions or your work

life is short, make the most of it....

everyone tells you that, it's so true

if you love them, tell them....

friends, parents, children, boyfriends, husbands

do not wait until the time is perfect, you have all your ducks in a row, the right amount of money in the bank or are the perfect weight....

that time will never come.

if you are already thinking about it, then now is the time you should be doing it.

if you feel it's wrong or it's not for you, then it most probably is....

our instinct is rarely wrong, trust it

it might seem that everyone else in the world has it all mapped out, but believe me, they really don't. if you went back and talked to those girls at school who seemed to know everything, you'd probably find that they were just as scared and unsure as you, they thought & worried about the same as you.

it will be exactly the same throughout life....most people have the same hopes, dreams & fears.

it is NOT just you....
