One of the biggest things that I have to admit as an adult is how we have been conditioned to think a certain way. Which becomes evident when someone who doesn’t think like the masses voices their opinion. They are often met with rage, judgement and criticism. It is very un-necessary.

Although I haven’t always acted on this, I believe in individualism and critical thinking because what works for you might not work for another. Im Western society, we have the choice to empower ourselves with our thoughts and actions. Sometimes we forget that.

I have been learning many things but here are just 9 of them:

1. What is right for me doesn’t need to be approved by someone else.

2. It is up to me to get what I need done.

3. Waiting on another person to see me or validate me is a waste of time.

4. Reacting to a negative person gives the other person power.

5. Not everyone understands the value of peace.

6. Growth is always possible. I just have to take it step-by-step.

7. Sometimes health is physical effort, yes! But, sometimes it is letting go of people who have allowed poison and fear to control them.

8. Trust what you know. Not what has been forced down your throat.

9. We can only reach our full potential by healing from the inside out.
