Some of those old sayings from childhood can really level up your life. Here are 10 pieces of wisdom worth revisiting, that you've likely heard a thousand times. 1/
“Don’t Make Decisions When You’re Angry” People will tank their careers, cheat on their spouses, and ruin their lives because they made decisions when they were "angry." The saying is right - Don’t do it. 2/
“Be Yourself.” So many people suffer because they feel pressure to be something they’re not. Pressure from parents, peers, co-workers, friends or even their significant others. Be yourself, because being anything else will make you miserable. 3/
“Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff.” Surprisingly solid advice for a happy life. Choose your battles, and let the little things go. Once you realize what “big things” are (cancer, financial hardship, etc.), you'll see how meaningless those little things really were. 4/
“Know Your Worth” Knowing your worth levels up your life. You don’t put up with things that devalue you…and that is gold. This will impact what you’ll put up with in relationships, in your jobs, and in life. Raise it up. 5/
“It’s Okay to Ask for Help.” You’re not the expert of everything, and understanding that will save *years* of time & struggle across many areas of life. From your finances, skills, to your health, don’t wait until you’re at an absolute breaking point. Get what you need. 6/
“Who You Marry is One of the Most Important Decisions You’ll Make.” This person impacts happiness & life quality like no other…so make it someone uplifting, supportive and wonderfully fitting to you. Man or woman, divorce can devastate you emotionally and financially. 7/
“Make Time for People You Love.” Putting off seeing your grandmother or parents because you wanted to do other things? It might not seem like a big deal today…but one day it will be. Time is limited with those you love. 8/
“The Best Time to Start is Now” Whether saving for your future, starting a side gig/business, or trying to write that novel, start today. Time gets away very quickly. Don’t be the person with regrets. 9/
“The Best Revenge is Living Well.” Many people get stuck in grudges & anger that messes up their own lives. Move forward and put things in the past. Take care of your own needs, and live well. It only hurts you to do otherwise. 10/
“Treat Others the Way You’d Want to be Treated.” The Golden Rule is timeless. Be a good human. If we all treated others how we’d wish to be treated, the world would certainly be a much better place for us all. 11/
Sometimes those quick sayings of the past are outdated, and sometimes they exist with wisdom that carries on. I’d love to hear the sayings that still ring true for you. 12/fin
