Thanksgiving Me 33 Years

Today is my 33rd birthday. Today is also a day of Thanksgiving so I feel particularly blessed to share a birthday and holiday surrounded by my family who mean everything to me. I have received so much from so many that I wanted to dedicate this blog to giving back. I have lived for 33 years and so many life lessons have helped to guide my path - show me the light so that I became the person I am today. So now I want to share with you my top 10 lessons and hope you will somehow benefit from the blessings I have been awarded. Thank goodness I know:

1.When we operate from the paradigm of service, our lives will have more value.

2.I surrender all problems to God who is over my life.

3. My life journey is 100% up to me. No excuses, no blaming others for my circumstances.

4. Every single friend in my life is there because he or she adds some value to my spirit.

5. I stand at the center of my life. When I become off-balance I ask, “Where do I fit in? What matters most to me?”

6. When someone pushes me away, and all I want to do is befriend them, I quickly back off.

7. Similarly, when someone shows me who they are, I believe them the first time.

8. Before I can attract friends and partners who love and respect me, I must first accept that I am worthy to be loved and respected.

9. Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in my mind, and opportunity waits for no one.

10. When I am in the midst of the biggest crises of my life. I say “thank you” because I know that my faith in God is so strong that whatever the problem is, it’s only there to teach me more about myself. And on the other side of every storm is a greater sense of joy and understanding of who I am.

So those are my top 10 lessons. I am thankful that you read my blog and listen to my words. And as we pause to give thanks for everything that has been given to us, we should not forget the lessons we have learned. Whether they are positive or negative, they are always there to teach us more about ourselves. I hope you will enjoy this day just as much as I will enjoy my 33rd birthday. Happy Thanksgiving!
