2)You are exactly where you need to be, even if it is not where you want to be

11)Reprogram your mind to seek abundance in every scarcity that strikes you.

12)Love yourself a little extra on days when life feels like a mess.

13)You do not need to rush with your dreams

14)That being said work on your dreams every single day with all the energy you have.

15)Little by little is better than nothing at all.

16)Romanticize your life and witness how little moments bring you joy.

17)Manifestation and divine timing is real

18)Surrender to the universe or the almighty about the things you cannot control

19)Work on things people cannot take away from you - mindset, confidence, character, authenticity, skills and personality

20)You have all the power to remove anything or anyone who doesn’t bring you peace or growth.

21)Celebrate yourself every step of the way

22)Leave behind yesterday’s sadness- The beauty of life lies in the ongoing tussle of the hammered wheelings of time. Life never waits in the moments we want time to cease its course, it has both beauty and remorse in it. But accepting the truth of not holding on to the past and starting each day as a fresh slate helped me accept the beauty of what is.

23}Fall in love with becoming your best version every day- Each day looks different, work on becoming your best self with the belief that embracing what is yours will find its way to you.

24) Learn to not take yourself so seriously!- It is easier said than done, but one thing I learnt this year on a hard day was not to take myself so seriously, I am not making rockets after all:).

To live in the moment and learn how to be present is so important.

25)Be grateful for what you have- It is easy for us to be dissatisfied with what we have, and we lose sight of the abundance that is present in our lives. Be grateful for what you have, to make space for gratitude and not negativity of the past.

26)Believe in yourself and do not let the root of comparison get to you- When you believe in yourself, the best things happen. This year has taught me to not compare my journey to anyone else’s and to believe in the individual sense of purpose you hold.

27) Do not force things that are not meant to be Whether it is friendships, opportunities, clients or any relationship, this year taught me to embrace life as it comes.

28)Hold your tribe close- The friends and family that have been there with you and supported you through your thick and thin, are the ones who need to be nurtured. This year has taught me to be grateful for the ones who have been there for me no matter what.

29)Celebrate your progress- Whether it is a project completion, or winning a competition or being recognised for my work, this year has taught me to applaud myself and give myself the validation and appreciation I deserve.
