Birthday post and lessons I learned so far


Hello ladies! Today is my birthday! Yes, another year has gone (isn't it yesterday that it was Christmas day?)....
Every year I get less excited on my birthday and the only person that wants to celebrate this day is my mom. I am getting old and honestly, I wish I had the energy I had when I was 25 haha! Today I would like to share with you few valuable lessons I learned throughout the 35 years of my life.


♥ We have only one life to live, so live it well.

♥ Smile as much as you can.

♥ Everyone has bad days. It's not only you. And it is only a day. Tomorrow things will be better, I promise.

♥ Stress does not do any good and stress will not solve your problems.

♥ Enjoy every little moment in life.

♥ It takes hard work to accomplish something but it will be so rewarding at the end.

♥ Nothing is given for free.

♥ Life will give you hard times and you will learn from them.

♥ Our family is everything.

Being nice to others does not cost a thing; on the contrary, it makes you a better person and you feel great after doing or saying something nice.

♥ Take one step at a time; rushing things will not get you to the desired result.

♥ Enjoy the nature, the flowers, the sun.  Go out every day and enjoy it, it's the most incredible thing in this world.

♥ It's not about the destination, but the journey itself; it's such a cliche, I know, but so true.

♥ Great friends make your life happier.

♥ It's not necessary to have many friends and in the future, you will see that only a few of them will be there for you until the end; you only need a few but amazing and great friends in your life.

People are going to say bad things no matter what; haters will always be haters so the less you care, the happier you will be.

♥ Show your parents how much you love them. They will not be here with us for long and we will miss them when they are gone.

♥ Love is the most important thing in the world. Show others that you love them. Your partner, your kids, your best friend, your cousin, your grandparents! Show love!



Thank you for visiting here, I hoped you enjoyed this little post and I will see you soon!

  25. Happy belated birthday, Yiota!
    I think I appreciate my parents a lot more now than when I was younger, when I used to take them for granted. I think no one will ever love you as unconditionally as your parents.
