My Thoughts – Part 1
Before I turned 30 I just sat around and reflected on some things. Below are 18 items that I thought about:
- Everything you do, good and bad, comes back to you. For those that have wronged you remember: Every dog has its day. Just sit back and wait….
- Always be kind and courteous to others. As the Bible states, you never know when you are entertaining angels.
- Change can happen at ANY time, regardless of the plans you may have made.
- There’s a fine line between saving money and being a cheap a**. Nobody likes a miser.
- No matter how nice and sweet of a person you are, someone, somewhere, still hates your a** for no reason. (I know this from personal experience).
- Those who feel the need to gossip have weak character. Weed those people out of your life. Know that when you talk about others it eventually gets back to them. Also know that more than likely, people are talking about you as well.
- Snakes in the grass will come into your life. Acknowledge what they are early on so when they betray you there is no astonishment or disdain. You knew what you were dealing with from the start….
- People love to see you fall. Those that revel in your failure are not worthy of your time. Pick yourself up and keep it moving. Your haters will encounter life’s failures in due time.
- You have officially reached a new status when you have “Me too’s”. This is someone who does the same things you do just because. Imitation is flattery to a certain point; after that it just becomes creepy because you’re a mindless follower.
- Just because it’s this season’s new trend doesn’t mean you should try it. Know your body type and what looks good on you. Some things are not a good look…. Also, dress age appropriate.
- If you’re over 40 and still regularly hitting the clubs, you just might be that pathetic “old head” that you always bashed and avoided. How the tables have turned….
- If my confidence makes you feel insecure then that’s a personal problem. You need to work on your self esteem.
- At some point in life, one needs to move out of their parent’s house and be independent. 40 and chillin’ at home is not cute…. Stop being afraid of the unknown.
- Stop making excuses for why you’re not doing something. Shoulda, coulda, woulda gets you nowhere.
- When things go wrong, think about what you could have done better. Stop blaming others for your mistakes that could have been prevented.
- Choose your company wisely; just because you have many friends/associates doesn’t mean everyone has your best interest in mind. Everyone has their own agenda as to why they deal with you. Take the time to figure out why.
- Remain humble. What’s here today may be gone tomorrow.
- Don’t always look down on those who are insolvent; they may be rich in spirit
