My 35 at 35

November is my birthday month and I wanted to share my 35 at 35 - 35 life-changing lessons I have learnt over the last 35 years.... Enjoy!

1.       Joy always comes in the morning

2.       True love can happen more than once

3.       God is love and when your heart is in Him it can never be broken

4.       You are stronger than you think

5.       You have what it takes to rise above absolutely anything

6.       Wearing red lipstick can cure the blues & make you feel stronger

7.       You cannot move forward in life when you are not walking in truth; the truth will always set you free

8.       Don’t try to do what only God can do for you, let go and let Him

9.       Children grow FAST!!! As a parent, treasure every single moment

10.   There is power in the name of Jesus

11.   Your destiny is not tied to anyone who left you… remind yourself why he left you and how he left you in the first place, look forward not backward in order for you to move forward and not backward!!!

12.   Love don’t pay the rent but it sure as hell can conquer all

13.   Not everything that feels like love is love, use your brain as well as your heart – 50/50

14.   Always read the fine print – terms & conditions – before agreeing to anything

15.   Life is too short to buy the cheaper ice-cream!

16.   Don’t ever choose work over your spouse or children! They want to be with you now more than you than the insurance money you will leave behind for them after you gone!

17.   You’ll never be truly happy/settled/at peace until you live your purpose, that which you are passionate about

18.   We all want the house, the car, the material things… it aint worth having all that and being a slave to man or money?

19.   You choose your destiny by living your purpose

20.   Faith really does move mountains – our circumstances don’t move God, our faith does!!

21.   Your children are watching every step, every move, every word that comes out of your mouth, whoever came up with the saying “do what I say don’t do what I do” is a damn fool.

22.   Drug and alcohol addiction is curable

23.   You can’t change your spouse but God can

24.   Your success will be everlasting when you commit everything you do to God; Let Him crown your efforts with success

25.   When you see yourself through the eyes of God, your world changes

26.   You were not born to fit in so don’t be afraid to stand out or stand up for what you believe in, even if you end up being the only one standing! – “The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before” Albert Einstein

27.   You will live your dream when you make the decision to do so

28.   You will always get what you ask for when you believe that you received it – this is because God already has every blessing lined up for you, the key to every door that needs to be opened

29.   Nothing is impossible

30.   Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy

31.   There is a bible verse that says that God prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you will see that manifest in your life when you decide to be what God created you to be

32.   Don’t share your dreams & desires with just anyone, share it only with those who will cover you in prayer

33.   When God opens a door for you, no man can close it

34.   The way to have kindness, peace, gentleness, joy, love, self-control, patience, goodness, gentleness & mountain moving faith is to practise it

35.   I was taught never to count my chickens before they have hatched but I have learned that I have the power in me to determine what will hatch and how much of it I can have!!!
