Happy birthday to me!
33 life lessons from 33 years of my life
You are the most important person in your life, not your mom, not your dad, not your partner, not your future kids—you.
The most valuable thing in life is doing what you want, when you want, with whom you want. This is the life you want to build.
You are very lucky to be able to create the chance to build the life you want. Always be grateful.
It is great to be in love with someone. But, what is greater is to build the life you want with your partner in crime.
Love is not enough. You need to have healthy communication.
You can’t make everyone happy, and you don’t need to try.
How people treat you says more about them than about you.
You cannot change anyone except yourself.
Happiness is found in small moments, like having an inspiring conversation with your partner or walking in a forest in silence.
Everybody has big goals and dreams, but only a few of us have the courage to take action.
Enjoy the process because once you reach your goal, it may seem meaningless.
You do not need anyone's approval, especially not from those you don’t admire and respect.
To be good at something—a good partner, teacher, mom, daughter—you have to take care of yourself both physically and mentally.
You may not remember the nice shoes you bought 5 years ago, but you'll remember the amazing day trip you went on with a loved one. Spend your money on experiences, not possessions.
Life is short, the world is wide. Make more good memories.
You will always feel uncomfortable, either by trying to fit in or by being yourself. Choose the latter.
You have changed and will keep changing, so it is okay to lose people along the way.
The only failure is not trying. Once you try, even if you don’t get the outcome you wanted, you learn.
In daily life, there are few problems that a 10-minute yoga session or a 20-minute walk can't help alleviate.
Eat healthily, sleep well, exercise regularly. Otherwise, you cannot live the life you want.
It is not easy to redefine your goals and dreams, and you will suffer. It is okay not to be okay.
You cannot help people who don’t know that they need help.
Not everybody deserves your time.
Surround yourself with people you admire.
Learn more. As you learn, you realize how much you don’t know, which can feel uncomfortable, but that’s okay.
Enjoy your own company and spend time alone.
Try to spend more time on the things that matter to you and minimize the time you spend on things you don’t care about.
Life is better in your 30s than in your 20s. It is very likely that you will enjoy your 40s more than your 30s.
Money gives you freedom, nothing else. But if you are not free, it is very difficult to be happy.
You don’t know whether you will be able to work tomorrow. So, you need to have an emergency fund.
Take responsibility for your problems. You can blame others if you want to ruin your life.
Nobody will save you.
Nobody cares.
Cheers!

+1) Life may seem a little difficult and confusing, but if it weren't, it wouldn't be worth living. The thing that makes life complicated also makes it wonderful :)
