18 things I've learned in 18 years!

Just turned 18 yesterday, so here a few things I'm learning!!!

1. While on the pursuit to your future, remember your roots- the hardships you’ve already encountered at such a young age & the feats you have under your belt. This will steady you during trying times.

2. Appreciate each moment & help your neighbors along the way. It won’t slow you down any.

3. Do not spend your time chasing a goal & forgetting to reflect on the steps that brought you there.

4. Chase life with the same passion & excitement that you do the small moments that bring you joy.

5. We can make the best or worst of it. I hope we make the best of it.

6. Things are messy before they’re not.

7. Social media never tells the whole story.

8. There is so much beauty in humble beginnings.

9. There will never be a total solution to your feeling of emptiness, besides Jesus.

10. We’re all after one thing: attention.

11. Make the most of your age.

12. Take time to write down the things God is speaking to you- even if it’s just on the notes on your phone.

13. Accomplishments may get you through the doors, but it’s always character that sustains you.

14. When you first meet a person, you don’t meet the real them, you meet their representative.

15. Hard work is hard. Some days are longer than others. & patience is hard to come by.

16. God sees your effort & you’ll surely be rewarded in due time.

17. Sometimes God moves slow & sometimes He moves fast, either way He’s still moving.

18. It’s all about you handle your imperfections.
