Celebrating her birthday, the psychologist Don Gluskin thought about what her years had taught her. Today is my thirty-seventh birthday. I must say all these years were quite interesting. Looking back at the lived stages of my life, I now understand how all my successes and misses, triumphs and mental pain have made me today.

I went from a shy and diligent little girl to a teenage upstart and a carefree 20-year-old dreamer. Today I'm over 30. I became a mother, an entrepreneur and realized that in this life for me the most important thing. Continuing every day to get to know myself and help other people do this, I decided to strain my brains and draw up a list of lessons that I learned from 37 years of my life. Today I start the next round of the sun and share with you the lessons I have already received. I hope they will be useful to someone.

So:

Happiness is inside. We spend too much time looking for approval and comfort from the outside. And it always turns out that we are not looking there. Look inside yourself.

Be grateful for everything. For good, for bad, for terrible. Life in itself is an invaluable gift.And pleasure and pain are part of our journey.

Change your perception and your life will change. When you feel fear, anger, resentment, just look at the situation from a different angle.

It is impossible to make everyone happy by staying true to yourself. But it's better to take a risk and be misunderstood than be loved, but pretend to be who you are not really.

The world around is a mirror. What we love in others is a reflection of what we love in ourselves. What grieves us in others is an indicator of what we need to pay attention to in ourselves.

Every person appears in our life for some purpose. And we already decide whether to learn in the lessons that he teaches us or not. The worse his role in our life, the more serious the lesson. Motion for your mustache.

Believe it. Just know that in the hardest times the universe will set your back, and everything will be in order.

Do not take everything too much to heart. The actions of others are a reflection of what is happening in their personal lives. And as a rule, this has nothing to do with you.

Nature heals. Walking in the fresh air and the view of beautiful landscapes can amazingly clear the head of unnecessary thoughts, bring to life and cheer up.

Offended people offend people. And still love them. Although no one forbids you to love them from a distance. To cure, you need to feel it. Put your fears and weaknesses in front of you and point a bright ray of light at them, because the only way to get rid of them is to go through them. To look at the truth in my eyes hurt. But, I swear, in the long run it's really worth it.

Perfectionism is an illusion. Most, I must say, painful. Relax. Strive for excellence , but allow yourself to make mistakes and be happy regardless of the outcome.

Remove the blinkers from the eyes. Do not concentrate solely on your own goals and desires. You run the risk of missing out on the beauty of this life and the people around you.The world is amazing when you walk on it with wide eyes.

Celebrate your victory. Savor everyone, even the smallest success.

Know how to forgive. First of all, you need it, not those who offended you. Forgiving, you gain peace and freedom that you deserve. Farewell easily and quickly.

We all have incredible intuition. If you stop, stop and listen, you can hear the voice of your inner wisdom. Listen to the soft whisper of your heart. It knows the way.

Let your soul sing! Be real. On Earth, there is no one like you. Be sincere, live and breathe deeply, moving towards your goals .

We are all creators. Really! With due perseverance, concentration and perseverance, everything is possible. Remember this.

I radiate light. You radiate light. We all radiate light. Some cast a shadow on their own brightness. Be a ray of light for others and show them the way.

Do not take life too seriously! Anyway, no one will leave alive. Smile. Allow yourself to be stupid. Use the moment. Have fun.

Surround yourself with people who love and support you. And you yourself love and support them. Life is too short for something less.

Spin through life in free dance. If you have a big dream, follow it with all the passion. But gently and at a certain distance, to be flexible enough and mobile, adjusting to the changing rhythm of life.

The more you give, the more you get. Share wisdom, love, talent. Share easily. And you will see how much beauty in this life comes back to you.

The main thing is not to distribute yourself completely. Because if the inner cup is empty, there will be nothing more to give. It is important to observe the balance.

Say "Yes!" To all the things that light up your eyes. Say irreconcilable "No" to everything that does not interest you or what you do not have time for. Time is the most valuable resource that does not resume. Spend it wisely.

Sometimes we outgrow our friendship. This does not mean that we or friends are bad.Just our ways diverge. Keep them in your heart, but if they start insulting or restraining you, then it's time to establish a distance and let go of your friendship.

Fear is a very good indicator of what we really want, and what we need in this life. Let him be your compass and enjoy the exciting adventures to which he leads you.

Overcoming your own fear is the most useful thing you can do for yourself. Thus, you prove to yourself that you can do everything. This is a super-confidence generator.

Our body is the transport that takes us to our dream. Love him, treat carefully and carefully, if you want to feel vigorous and energetic. But never go in cycles. Appearance is subjective and changes with time. Feel comfortable and comfortable in your own body - that's the most important thing.

As often as possible, talk and show your loved ones how much you love them. It does not happen too much. Your time, presence near, love and sincere care for them - the best gift.

Live the present. This is the only thing that we have now. Learn from the mistakes of the past and enjoy pleasant memories, but do not cling to them and do not let them chase you.Dream about the future, but without fanaticism and obsession. Love the present .

Life is a series of ups and downs. In order to reveal our full potential, we need both. Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

We are all one big human family. None of us is better or worse than others. It's just that at some stage of our life we know what to do. Next time it will be someone else.

Be grateful every day for all that you have in life. Thus, you create a space around yourself for more abundance, attracting joy, love, health and prosperity.

You are not the center of the universe. Although sometimes your ego makes you think so. It's not worth it. Look at the world and the people around, and you will learn many new and beautiful things.

The world needs more love, light and laughter.

You are your own guru. We are told most of the life what to do, how to think, what is good and how to succeed. It is not necessary to believe all this unconditionally. Think for yourself. Break the foundations. As soon as you stop doing what is expected of you, and start following your own intuition, you will feel ridiculously happy.

Age is just a figure. But the more it is, the wiser and more experienced we become. You will never be younger than you are now. So use this! Enjoy the moment!
