Recently sitting in a boring seminar, surfing along the web, stumbled across a great article written by Mary Schmidt, a professional optimist, as her twitter profile describes her. Mary shares a list of what she wants to do, feel, know, experience and remember as she completes 25 years of her life. It's a beautiful read and reminds you how important it is to step back once in a while and see where you are going, question yourself, who you are? And what you wanna be?
Her list of 25 @ 25...
- Most of the time, you don’t know anything about anything. That was true when you were 15 and that will be true when you are 65. You do, however, know how to be a good person and you know how to follow your heart. Keep doing that and you’ll be just fine.
- Don’t go on Facebook so much. Seriously, it’s a waste of time.
- You’re 25. You’re not in college anymore. You know how to cook a healthy meal. STOP EATING TOP RAMEN, your body doesn’t like it.
- Also, it’s time to start drinking a little more responsibly. You started too young and you’ve been in this game for over a decade. However, unlike when you were 15 no one is going to think you are any cooler for taking that extra tequila shot. Slow down on the booze.
- Remember to always love your big strong legs, your bubble butt, the plumpness of your head, the way your eyes squint when you smile, and the petiteness of your lips. They are precious family heirlooms that have been handed down to you from generations of brilliantly beautiful people.
