1) Enjoy the frivolity of youth while you can, for it will be gone sooner than you think.

2) You’re never quite as smart as you think you are, nor as rich or thin as you want to be.

3) Don’t let the highs get too high or the lows get too low. The key to happiness lies in balance.

4) Never forget where you come from. Let the past keep you grounded and humble.

5) Don’t let failure get you down. Look for the learning opportunity in every bad situation.

6) If you don’t have a serious passion for what you’re doing, do something else instead. Life’s too short to work “just for the money.”

7) When a door closes, leave it closed. There’s always an open window just around the corner.

8) “I can’t” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In truth, you’ll never know until you try.

9) Listen to all advice and criticism that comes your way, but know when to ignore it completely.

10) Take your business seriously, but not yourself.

11) Take time to think before you speak, because you can’t take words back. In moments of heightened tension, think twice.

12) Happiness isn’t just the most important thing in life; it’s the only thing that matters.

13) Invest yourself only in those willing to invest themselves in you. Toxic people and “takers” will suck your energy dry.

14) Learn to accept the unconditional love you deserve, and to give it tenfold in return.

15) No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to live the life you’ve always wanted.

16) They say that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Learning how to figure out which is which, and how to let go when the time comes, is wisdom that comes with age. 

17)  It’s never too late to get a new lease on life. Starting over may seem scary, but the opportunity to reinvent yourself (or your career) is invigorating.

18)  The older you get, the more you begin to recognize the value of good health. You don’t have to treat your body as a temple, but it’s important to treat it with respect, because it’s the only one you get. 

19)  Friends are increasingly hard to come by as you age. Making new friends may be silver, and keeping old friends may be gold. But learning to be a friend to yourself is priceless. 

20) Turning 50 isn’t as scary as you think. And even though the person in the mirror may look a little older and have a few more silver hairs, you still feel like a kid inside. 

21) You don’t have to be your absolute best every day. In fact, it’s impossible. But if you keep showing up and doing the best you can, chances are it will get you very far. 

22) Losing loved ones is never easy, but it becomes increasingly common as you age. The best way to honor their memory is to keep living your best life. 

23)  To quote one of my favorite poets, Dylan Thomas, “do not go gentle into that good night.” Live boldly, dream big, and set impossible goals for yourself. Even if you fail to reach them all, it’ll still be one helluva ride!
