No To Quarter Life Crisis

I am so happy I turned 25 this month. I can't fully express the gratitude and love that I feel right now. The past year I have been dreading the so called Quarter Life Crisis. I didn't want to feel it. I didn't want to be the 25 year old woman that doesn't have any idea with what she wants to do with her life. Yes! I did some bucket list of things I want to do in life. The closer I get to my birthday the more I dread to finish the things I need to do. Then, I started to realized some important things in life, that I want to share with all of you.

1. Start Living N.O.W

I was so scared that I might not be able to finish my bucket list. Then, I realized that same thing goes with life. We dread too much about the future like getting a house, car, or things that we want to acquire. Because of these, we just end up not enjoying life as it is the moment. I have heard stories of people regretting not being able to do and experience new things when they have the chance to and end up just feeling sorry because they aren't capable to do so.

Start Living NOW! Don't wait until your 30 to regret more things. Now is the time to take on challenges, risks, adventures, and new beginnings.

2. Value The People Who Were Always There For You

Always be grateful for the people who have been with you through it all. Show gratitude by paying them compliments, reciprocating their love, and just being there for them. Life is too short so, while you have the chance to do it, I suggest, do it every single day.

3. Choose To Be Grateful

I believe it was President Uchtdorf who have talked about choosing to be grateful no matter what the circumstances are, in an LDS General Conference Talk. Prior to turning 25, Heavenly Father did really test my faith and trust in Him. He allowed me to fall so hard that it almost broke me. It was one of those trials that I never expected to come. Still, it was because I trusted Him that I am where I am right now. 

No matter how hard I cried and murmured about the circumstance we were in a few days before my birthday, I am still very very grateful because He blessed me with so much wisdom, knowledge, and love.

Soooooooo!!!! None of that Quarter Life Crisis for me. I am so grateful for another year of new beginnings, challenges, opportunities, risks, and life. Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!
