Material Objects Don't Define You

A stunning apartment, hot car, or the latest designer clothes may get you noticed, but only for so long. We’re defined by our talent, creativity, and accomplishments. Using material objects to impress others is seldom worth it in the long run.

You Have More Potential Than You Realize

A lot of us spend the majority of our lives working jobs that leave us feeling unsatisfied with life — and even if we manage to tolerate the “good” jobs we work, they don’t necessarily feed our soul. There’s a whole world out there waiting for you — don’t hinder your potential for the sake of a paycheck.

Your Life Doesn't Have to Be a Fairytale

It’s okay if your life isn’t perfect, it isn’t supposed to be. We always want to portray our best selves to the public, and this is especially true following the rise of social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. The filter may be fooling your followers, but it can’t fool you. It’s okay not to feel okay, and it’s okay to be you! Life is full of surprises, and that's what makes the adventure worthwhile.

Consumerism Is Merely a Distraction From the Real World

Don’t get blinded by advertisements or name brands – instead, pay attention to what’s important to you. Turn off the TV, get off your phone, and live your life without stressing over the latest trends. It’s easy to give blind respect to public figures and various news media, but your views and opinions matter, too.

Be Open to Taking Risks

Ever want to go skydiving? Go for it! Contemplating getting that extra degree? Invest in yourself! Life is boring if your next move is constantly calculated and hindered with a bunch of “what ifs.” Turn off the noise inside your head, stop the negative talk, and live life to the fullest!
