Gretchen made a list. Of things to remember. Her “secrets of adulthood”. My list is very similar but I have taken some away, and changed a few to apply to me.
My list:
1. People don’t notice your mistakes as much as you think
2. It’s okay to ask for help
3. Not all decisions have to require deep thought or extensive research
4. Do good, feel good
5. Be nice to everyone… even the cleaning lady
6. Bring a sweater
7. Stop procrastinating! You can get much more accomplished if you do a little each day
8. Turn your computer off every night, it needs to sleep too
9. If you can’t find something, clean up
10. Happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy
11. It’s okay not to be good at everything
12. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough
13. What you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while
14. Don’t let perfect be the enemy
15. What's fun for you may not be for someone else
And the Twelve Commandments:
1. Be Natalie, and no one else
2. Let go of the past
3. Act the way you want to feel
4. Stop procrastinating
5. This too shall pass
6. The journey is better than the destination
7. Don't let others bring you down
8. Stop complaining
9. Lighten up
10. Do what ought to be done
11. Be here now
12. THERE IS ONLY LOVE
These are essentially things I will to work on…everyday. Things I will strive to remember above all else
next step...monthly resolutions.
I won't actually start MY project until I'm done reading. but this is my start :)
