✨ Words of Wisdom I Live By — I Collected The Last Decade
Jun 12, 2025
If the last decade has taught me anything, it’s this: worry doesn’t change your outcome.
You can pour all your energy into what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, and life will still unfold the way it’s meant to — often better, if you just let it.
This decade was full of lessons I didn’t even know I needed.
🔸 About trust.
🔸 About patience.
🔸 About letting go when I desperately wanted to hold on.
🔸 About choosing joy even when life felt heavy.
And most of all, about realizing that the foundation I was building — quietly, imperfectly — was stronger than I ever gave it credit for.
These are some of the truths that shaped me, carried me, and anchored me through the storms and the stillness.
Maybe they’ll meet you wherever you are right now, too.
Trusting the Journey
- Life is not meant to be fully controlled. No one can predict the future. The best thing you can do is make the best decision with the information you have now — and be willing to adjust when life gives you new information.
- Your worst case? It’s usually still a very good life. You have already built a strong foundation.
- Trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, even if it feels messy or unclear.
- Trust your intuition. It got you this far — it will take you even further.
Living with Patience and Presence
- Anything worth having takes time. Building a career, creating a life you love, healing your heart — it’s all slow magic.
- You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Live one decision at a time, one step at a time.
- Be present for your own life. Everything you need and are is already here and within you.
- Take care of your health. Take care of your spirit. They are your true wealth.
Resilience Over Perfection
- Suffering is part of life. It’s the closest we get to understanding what it means to be human — to be compassionate, to be real.
- It’s ok if things aren’t perfect. If something cracks, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re growing.
- Never beat yourself up in the middle of the storm. Give yourself time to heal and process with radical acceptance.
Protecting Your Energy
- Notice what brings you energy and what drains it. Adjust accordingly.
- Say no when you need to — even if it’s uncomfortable. Especially then.
- Not everyone gets full access to you. Protect your peace like it’s sacred, because it is.
- It’s how you react to stress that matters. Use your tools. Move your body. Breathe. Choose how you want to show up.
Gratitude and Growth
- Start every day with gratitude. It’s the fastest way to shift your energy and reconnect to possibility.
- Celebrate your progress. Light a candle for the small wins, too.
- You are already so much closer to your dreams than you think.
- Stay flexible. Stay curious. Stay open to how life wants to surprise you.
Love, Always
- Be kind. To yourself first, and then to everyone you meet.
- Everyone is carrying something you can’t see. Everyone is figuring it out as they go.
- Live with empathy. Listen more. Speak with intention.
- You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to force. The right things find you when you’re being real.
