40 Lessons 40 Taught ME

Written By Alisha Michelle

  1. Pay attention to how people treat you

  2. Write your own story. It took me 40 years to understand what that means, what do you want the next chapter to say? Be your hero!

  3. Time is running out for all of us, think about everything like you're going to die. Would this matter if you were dying? Cause you are!

  4. People who no longer have access to you (the behind the scenes, the VIP pass) will make up stories about you. Let them. That's their story, not yours. #accessrevoked It’s okay if we don’t align anymore.

  5. Hurt people (try to) hurt people.

  6. Everyone doesn't want to see you win

  7. Misery loves company

  8. Read, a lot!!

  9. Be your own competition. Comparison is a joy killer

  10. Don't take anything personal

  11. Go for a walk (Blog: Pero, like go for a walk)

  12. Just do it, you’re gonna die some day, so do the thing, whatever the thing is

  13. Release the burdens of the past

  14. Release the idea of the life you were supposed to have and live your life now while creating the life of your dreams.

  15. Fuq 'em, Who cares what they think

  16. No one wins in divorce (Blog: My Divorce is Final, Now What)

  17. No is enough. NO. is a complete sentence

  18. Faith + Favor + Desire

  19. Depression is real

  20. People will treat you how you let them

  21. Trust your energy. Go where your energy takes you. Go where your energy is reciprocated

  22. What is for me is for me

  23. Give people their space

  24. People will treat you exactly how they feel about you

  25. They lost you

  26. Close the chapter, turn the page

  27. People choose sides

  28. Create your space

  29. Don’t expect you out of other people

  30. Set boundaries

  31. Social media is real but 90% of the shit people post is not

  32. Commit to you. How bad do you want it?

  33. Be authentic

  34. I am no longer pouring into anyone who doesn't pour into me

  35. Stop watering dead gardens

  36. Protect your peace

  37. You're living rent free in someone's head

  38. Something about your beautiful spirit will irritate people and that has nothing to do with you

  39. Everyone comes in your life to teach you something, you may not know what at the time, but you will learn

  40. I’m dope AF and I LOVE BEING ME!!! ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

Love ya,

Alisha
