Celebrating her next birthday, psychologist Don Gluskin wondered what she had learned from her past years. “Today is my thirty-seventh birthday. I must say, all these years have been quite interesting. Looking back at the stages of my life, I now understand how all my successes and failures, triumphs and heartache made me today. I went from being a shy and diligent little girl to an upstart teenager and a carefree 20-year-old dreamer. Today I am over 30. I became a mother, an entrepreneur and realized that the most important thing in this life is for me.
Continuing every day to know myself and help other people do it, I decided to strain my minds and make a list of lessons that I learned from 37 years of my life.
Today I begin another circle around the sun and share with you the lessons I have already learned.
I hope they will be useful to someone.
So: 1. Happiness is within. We spend too much time seeking outside approval and comfort. And it always turns out that we are looking in the wrong place. Look inside yourself.
2. Be grateful for everything. For the good, for the bad, for the terrible. Life itself is an invaluable gift. And pleasure and pain are part of our journey.
3. Change your perception and your life will change. When you feel fear, anger, resentment, just look at the situation from a different angle.
4. It is impossible to make everyone happy by staying true to yourself. But it's still better to take risks and be misunderstood than to be loved, but pretend to be who you are not.

5. The world around is a mirror. What we love in others is a reflection of what we love in ourselves. What makes us sad about others is an indicator of what we need to pay attention to in ourselves.
6. Each person appears in our life with a purpose. And we ourselves decide whether to study in the lessons that he teaches us or not. The worse his role in our life, the more serious the lesson. Wind on your mustache.
7. Believe. Just know that in the most difficult times, the Universe will give its back and everything will be fine.
8. Don't take everything too personally. The actions of other people are a reflection of what is happening in their personal life. And as a rule, it has nothing to do with you.
9. Nature heals. A walk in the fresh air and a view of beautiful landscapes are amazingly able to clear your head of unnecessary thoughts, bring you back to life and cheer you up.
10. Offended people hurt people. Love them anyway. Although no one forbids you to love them from a distance.
11. To heal, you need to feel it. Put your fears and weaknesses right in front of you and shine a bright beam of light at them, because the only way to get rid of them is to go through them. It hurts to face the truth. But I swear it's really worth it in the long run.
12. Perfectionism is an illusion. The most, I must say, painful. Relax. Strive for excellence, but allow yourself to make mistakes and be happy regardless of the outcome.
13. Remove the blinders from the eyes. Don't focus solely on your own goals and desires. You risk missing out on the beauty of this life and the people around you. The world is amazing when you walk with your eyes wide open.
14. Celebrate your victories. Savor every success, even the smallest one.
15. Be able to forgive. First of all, you need it, not those who offended you. As you forgive, you gain the peace and freedom you deserve. Goodbye quick and easy.
16. We all have incredible intuition. If you stop, freeze and listen, you can hear the voice of your inner wisdom. Hear the quiet whisper of your heart. It knows the way.
17. Let your soul sing! Be real. There is no one on Earth like you. Be sincere, live and breathe deeply, moving towards your goals.
18. We are all creators. Seriously! With the right perseverance, concentration and perseverance, anything is possible. Remember this.
19. I am emitting light. You are emitting light. We all emit light. Some cast a shadow over their own brightness. Be a ray of light for others and show them the way.
20. Don't take life too seriously! No one will leave alive anyway. Smile. Let yourself be silly. Take advantage of the moment. Have fun.
21. Surround yourself with people who love and support you. And love and support them yourself. Life is too short for anything less.
22. Spin through life in a free dance. If you have a big dream, follow it with passion. But gently and at a certain distance to be flexible and mobile enough, adjusting to the changing rhythm of life.
23. The more you give, the more you get. Share wisdom, love, talent. Share easily. And you will see how much beauty comes back to you in this life.
24. The main thing is not to give yourself away completely. Because if the inner bowl is empty, there will be nothing more to give. Balance is important.
25. Say "Yes!" everything that makes your eyes light up. Say an implacable "No" to everything that does not interest you or for which you do not have time. Time is the most valuable resource that cannot be renewed. Use it wisely.
26. Sometimes we outgrow friendship. This does not mean that we or friends are bad. It's just that our paths diverge. Keep them in your heart, but if they start to hurt or hold you back, then it's time to establish a distance and let go of your friendship.
27. Fear is a very good indicator of what we really want and what we need in this life. Let it be your compass and enjoy the exhilarating adventures it takes you to.
28. Overcoming your own fear is the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself. Thus, you prove to yourself that you can do anything. This is a super self-confidence generator.
29. Our body is a vehicle that takes us to our dreams. Love him, treat him carefully and caringly, if you want to feel cheerful and energetic. But never get hung up. Appearance is subjective and changes over time in one way or another. Feeling comfortable and comfortable in your own body is the most important thing.
30. Talk to your loved ones as often as possible and show them how much you love them. It's never too much. Your time, your presence, love and sincere care for them is the best gift.
31. Live in the present. This is the only thing we have now. Learn from the mistakes of the past and enjoy the pleasant memories, but don't cling to them and don't let them haunt you. Dream about the future, but without fanaticism and obsession. Love the present.
32. Life is a series of ups and downs. To reach our full potential, we need both. Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride.
33. We are all one big human family. None of us are better or worse than others. It's just that at some stage in our lives, we know what to do. Next time it will be someone else.
34. Be grateful every day for everything that you have in life. In this way, you create space around you for even greater abundance, attracting joy, love, health and prosperity.
35. You are not the center of the universe. Although sometimes your ego makes you think so. Not worth it. Look at the world and people around, and you will learn a lot of new and beautiful things.
36. The world needs more love, light and laughter.
37. You are your own guru. For most of our lives, we are told what to do, how to think, what is good, and how to succeed. You shouldn't believe all this unconditionally. Think for yourself. Break the foundations. Once you stop doing what is expected of you and start following your own intuition, you will feel ridiculously happy.
Age is just a number. But the larger it is, the wiser and more experienced we become. You will never be younger than you are now. So use it! Enjoy the moment!"
