Life Lessons: #1
As a nineteen-year-old, you may say that my life hasn't started yet, or maybe that you think I'm still ignorant of life and its life troubles. In fact, most will agree with this. I partially agree with this myself; yes, I am still experiencing life but what life has taught me in the nineteen years and six months that life is a wonderful platform where you can create your own story with the free will of choosing people how they affect your life, too. For whatever reason, you will always think 'why is this happening?' or 'what is the purpose of this [insert] lesson?' Majority of us will think life is cruel, but in reality, it can be used either way. You can either use your life experiences as a foundation to grow more; spirituality, physically, mentally. I have experienced all three of them that's for sure.

If Only It Was As Simple As a How To
I’m almost positive that every human being on this planet asks themselves this very question at least a million times throughout their lives. “How the hell did I get to where I’m at during this moment?” Whether suggesting your behind in life, farther than you thought you’d be, or simply in between I guarantee you still ask your self am I right?

Life. Why?
Have you ever thought during your typical workday, or at home with your family, what is the meaning of all this? It's something I ponder frequently, and I'm certain I can't be the only one. As an eight year old, the loss of a close family friend really had me questioning the meaning of life. I recall driving down the road, seeing the hustle and bustle of everyone, and wondering why people would live the way we live, if at the end of it all, we are all buried in the same sized box and covered in six feet of dirt.

Redefining Success
I recently had this discussion with a close friend, on what ‘success’ is and how you recognise it. She had just turned 30 and I am a few months from that milestone, I’m sure we are far from the only friends entering a new decade who have had the reviewed and assessed whether we are where we thought we would be. My friend said she considered me successful, looking at aspects such as my career, relationship, living arrangements etc., but I did not. That’s not to say I am unsatisfied with my current situation, not by any means but ‘success’ is one of those terms we rarely attribute to ourselves. Success is an aspirational, and ever moving goalpost. Most of us know what our personal version of success looks like but how many people actually stop and say, “Right, that’s it. Nothing more to do”? Redefining what success looks like as our situation changes is part of life and necessary for continued improvement… just as long as you can view that moving goalpost as a new opportunity and not as an impossible distance that makes you a failure.

Learning. Top Story - December 2017.
Throughout life I, as have many others I'm sure, have gone through things I thought I wouldn't make it out of; felt pain, I thought would never end, and had new feelings I've never experienced and didn't know how to deal with. Getting through these difficult times and new experiences have made me who I am now and are what has taught me all the important lessons that will help me get through whatever challenge comes next. There’s a quote, from ‘Looking For Alaska’ by John Green that says, “We can’t know better until knowing better is useless”. I think this is the basic premise of learning from your mistakes, that until you've lived through it and overcome the challenge you don't know that you wish you knew what you know now sooner, but at least you'll know for the next time so you don't have to make the same mistakes twice. I strongly believe that you have to make your own mistakes and go through your own challenges to truly learn the most important lessons in life.
