Apart from all of the actual knowledge that I have gained through my very interesting/boring classes that are shaping me as a human being, I grew wiser through my own experiences.
1. Own up to all your mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes. Its as simple as that. No one is perfect, no matter how hard I try to be. Sometime we just get caught up in the moment and things happen because we'd rather go with the flow than think. My last post was owning up to the major mistakes I've made lately. It's better to be the bigger person.
2. Motivation is everything.
One of my best friends who is in the army at the moment, gave me some great advice recently. He said that motivation is the key to life. Be motivated to get up in the morning. Be motivated to follow your dreams. Be motivated to always be a better person. Laziness is not an option. Don't wish for it, do it.
3. Take risks.
Life is too short to not experiment with it. Always try something new and shake up your life a bit. Splurge on that dress if it'll make you happy. Try that new restaurant. Take every opportunity. If an opportunity comes along, don't assume another one will come along after it.
4. It's not all about money.
Although I love money and want to be rich someday, I've realized lately that you can't worry about money so much. It should be about enjoying your life and having fun. For instance I had signed up for a class that made me really unhappy and I dreaded it and didn't agree with what the teacher was telling us (it was Philosophy). So I dropped out even though I couldn't get my money back. Now I never have to stress about that class and I'm just happier overall.
5. You can do anything you want.
When I was younger, I wanted to be an actress and model (I still kinda do). And I heard all the time about how its so hard to make it in that industry and most people don't succeed. But over the course of about 3 years I had walked a runway, been in a hairshow, been in a movie, and met people from Hollywood. People are so skeptical about dreams that they make other people not try for theirs. I never let anyone tell me I can't do something because I know that it is possible to do anything, especially if other people are out there already doing what you want to do. It takes hard work, dedication, and thick skin. You're gonna be told no a lot in your lifetime, but all you need is that one person to say yes. Never give up.
