12 Things I’ve Learned in the Last 12 Months

1. Consistency.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up.

2. Rest isn’t bad.
Taking time to rest doesn’t mean I’m lazy or losing momentum. Sometimes it’s exactly what I need.

3. I don’t have to stop and smell the roses to enjoy life.
I can enjoy life while I’m moving. I can appreciate where I am without having to stop chasing where I’m going.

4. I’m good alone, but it’s nice to have help.
Being independent doesn’t mean I have to carry everything by myself.

5. People want to feel happy when they see you. Be kind.
Clients, friends, strangers—people remember how you make them feel. Smile. Be kind. Bring good energy.

6. Smile through everything, because there is always something good.
Even when shit isn’t going my way, there’s something worth being grateful for.

7. Life isn’t hard. It’s simple. Just do it.
We spend so much time thinking, worrying, and making things more complicated than they need to be. Sometimes you just have to fucking do it.

8. Know your boundaries. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.
Not everyone needs an explanation. Not everyone deserves access to me. I know what I’m capable of.

9. It’s okay to be jealous. It’s not okay to constantly compare yourself to others.
Jealousy can show me what I want. Comparison can make me forget how far I’ve come. Use it to grow, then get back to your own path.

10. Be you.
Accept your flaws. Own who you are. Work on the things you want to change, but don’t spend your life pretending to be somebody else.

11. Getting told no a thousand times doesn’t mean a yes isn’t right around the corner.
Rejection doesn’t mean stop. Sometimes you’re one conversation, one opportunity, or one person away from everything changing.

12. Manifest and dream as big as you possibly can.
Don’t shrink your dreams just because they seem unrealistic to somebody else. Picture the life you want, believe you can build it, and then work your ass off until it becomes real. by @chefallenkc
