Although its wise to learn from other’s experiences, life is our biggest teacher and we all have own experiences to share our best advice from.

FIND MEANING

“Even amidst suffering, don’t forget to value the basics: breathing, walking, good health, and interpersonal relationships. Their absence reminds us of their worth. Life’s not just about seeking happiness; it’s about finding meaning despite hardships.
Appreciate the ordinary, find strength in gratitude, and stand tall amidst the chaos.”
SKIP GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY

“College isn’t for everyone. Trades are just as rewarding and don’t come with nearly the same debt. If you aren’t sure what you want to do, don’t waste time and money in a University.”
DON’T FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL
![](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3.-worry-lady-wtf-sad.jpeg)
“Don’t waste your energy dwelling on things that aren’t in your control, such as health conditions. Better to use that energy to find your way around them than wishing it wasn’t what it is.”
IT IS ABOUT THEM
![feeling stressed, worried, anxious or scared, with hands on head, panicking at mistake](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/scream-woman-frustrated-wtf.jpeg)
“The way someone treats you is a reflection on themselves, not you. Don’t fall for that.”
STEP OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

“Always make sure to step out of your comfort zone. Every great thing that has happened to me has been as a result of leaving my familiar boundaries.”
KEEP IMPROVING YOURSELF
![soccer or football college](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/soccer-or-football-college.jpeg)
“Never stop improving yourself, especially your mind. Learn new things, take on new hobbies, travel to places you’ve never been to (even if they’re just across town), try new foods, listen to songs outside the genres you normally listen to.
As the late great Bill Hicks said, “Life is just a ride, man”, so enjoy the ride.”
NO POINT IN PLEASING OTHERS

“Don’t live to please others.”
GIFTS

“Honesty, honor, integrity, and morality are gifts you give yourself.”
OWN YOUR EMOTIONS
![crying woman](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/crying-woman.jpeg)
“Don’t give anyone but yourself the responsibility for your own emotions. They don’t know your feelings as well as you do, nor might they care as much.
Some statements and actions sting on their own, but if you can limit the extent of a perceived affront, you’ll do best by turning that dial all the way down.”
DON’T DO DRUGS
![Disheveled drunk or female high on drugs at a nightclub](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/drug-addict.jpg)
“Don’t do hard drugs, kids. Unless you want to experience death before you die.”
DON’T LET PEOPLE TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED
![Beautiful african american woman standing over pink background doing time out gesture with hands, frustrated and serious face](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/girl-saying-no.jpg)
“Don’t let people take you for granted. If they don’t appreciate you and your time, then they aren’t worth it.”
APPRECIATE YOURSELF
![Photo,Of,Impressed,Millennial,Curly,Hairdo,Lady,Shrug,Shoulders,Wear](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/woman-ignoring.jpg)
“Cherish and appreciate yourself more. Learn how to thrive in your own company. The only person who is going to be there for you every time is – you.”
TRUST YOUR GUT
![A Young sleeping woman in bedroom at home wearing in white](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/sleep-annoyed.jpg)
“Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, it usually isn’t.”
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND CHERISH CHILDREN
![Young beautiful multiethnic woman outdoors drinking from reusable bottle - ecological, sustainable, no waste concept](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4.-drinking-water-reusable-bottle.jpeg)
“Be happy and try to find joy in even the simplest of things.
Drink plenty of water. Don’t live for the sake of working. Not many people are on their deathbed wishing they’d spent more time away from loved ones.
Suppose you decide to have children. Enjoy them growing up and cherish the time. Before you know it, they’re out living their own life which is obviously the goal, but it comes a lot quicker than you realize.”
RESPECT TIME

“Time is relentless. You can’t make more of it, and you can’t control it…you can only choose what you do with the time you have. It’s the most precious commodity you have; treat it as such.”
