25 lessons at 25 - Olotu Funke

Here are some lessons I have learned in my 25 years on Earth and things I wish someone told me.

  1. Not being kind to yourself when you make mistakes is not a testament to your self-discipline.
  2. You’re doing life for the first time, get over yourself.
  3. Stop looking outside for validation.
  4. The world does not revolve around you but your world revolves around you.
  5. Bravery is learned.
  6. Self-confidence is built
  7. Keeping your promises to yourself greatly improves your confidence more than anything else.
  8. Life does not have to be hard before you enjoy it.
  9. Your friends will save your life, and nurture your friendships.
  10. Half empty or half full. You decide.
  11. Act according to the situation, not what you expect or imagine it to be.
  12. When people show you who they are for the first time. Believe them. Not everyone has integrity.
  13. Take walks, it’s good for your mental health.
  14. Stop overthinking your creativity and do; doing is a muscle. Your doubts go only when you try.
  15. You deserve a full, deep love that makes your inside happy.
  16. There will be prices for choosing to live on your terms when it does not work with how society wants you to live, but it’s fine because you’re well-equipped to survive and thrive.
  17. Never settle, build the life you want. Brick by brick.
