10 things my 31-year-old self wishes I could tell my 16-year-old self: 10. You will never regret acting on compassion, mercy, generosity, forgiveness, or helping another person or animal. 9. Embracing discipline will get you what you really want, avoiding it will get you what you really dont want. 8. I am the only one who can take responsibility for my life, my choices, my responses, my character. Seek wisdom in every area of life. 7. Confidence, Intelligence, and the ability to laugh is what makes a woman truly attractive and will truly attract the right man. 6. True love is found in honoring God, friendship, unconditional loyalty, and self-sacrifice. 5. Feelings are not facts, facts should always guide feelings. Invite Gods grace for yourself and others. 4. Its easy to be busy and empty inside, fill your life with things that bring you closer to God, make you a better person, and leave your world better than when you found it. 3. Life can be really wonderful when you are emotionally healthy, make peace with your past, and ask for help on how to be successful and live life well. Look for Gods redemption even in the hard stuff. 2. Dont compare, be grateful, but never be satisfied with the status quo--pursue knowledge, understanding, and truth, seek God and listen dont just cling to beliefs. Only God gets to define truth and my identity, not pop culture, men, Hollywood, academia, or self-centeredness. 1. The best moments in life are often the most simple, swimming in the ocean, hiking with your dog, watching sunsets, laughing with friends, drinking tea with the kitty on your lap, dont take what you have around you for granted, happiness is a choice.
