Summary

We're all going through life experiencing and listening and learning… out of all of the things… how much do we really translate that into what means the most to us and what we stand for.

I found that when you are crystal clear on what you stand for and what you care about… decisions become really easy. Because you're clear on what's important to you and what's worth fighting for and the headspace that you live in.

When you're faced with challenges or conflict… you don't have this big figure it out moment… or worse… react and the total opposite way that you wish you would have.

Because you know what you stand for and you're reminded of it on the daily.

It requires putting your earplugs in and ignoring the noise and distractions around you.

It took me a year to organize what I really stand for and what I've learned in my life thus far… and how to have them be a part of our daily lives and how we operate.

Some key points:

-We read and listen to interesting things ALL THE TIME- but how do we translate them into real life?

-Get a section going in your journal… when you learn a hard lesson… write that shit down!

-Makes mistakes or waste of time decisions easier to stomach- it's a lesson learned!

-Helps you deal with conflict or hardship in the day.

-Helps you know what's worth letting go and what's worth fighting for.

-Helps you strengthen your family bond and priorities

-Helps you stay in a positive headspace

-Give yourself the reminders you need! The ones you get off track with most!

Here is my 40th bday list of life lessons learned thus far:
