'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. 'I don't much care where—' said Alice. 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat." — Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland


And it does not matter which way you go...

Lessons I Have Learnt

Believe in yourself- no one else will know what you know about yourself

Listen to your heart-it's trying to tell you things you aren’t ready to hear, but need to hear anyway

Ensure you are the best at what you do

Love. Like you have never loved before-even if it hurts, love anyway

Family- don’t underestimate their importance, they mean everything

Friends- you don’t need 150 friends, you need 15 good friends at the most, people you can count on any time of the day

Surround yourself with beauty, happiness and peace, that’s the only way you can maintain the equilibrium

Pamper yourself-you deserve it

Whatever happens, keep your chin up

Maintain self respect and dignity and discard those who don't respect you, you dont need them anyway

Learn to differentiate the genuine and the fake
Let go- learn to forget the pain inflicted by others on you. It stems from their own personal demons, not yours

There is a God, you can feel him in your breath

Respect yourself; body and soul-you only have one of each

Do the right thing- you always will know what it is

There is a reason for everything, a good reason

Never listen to someone else’s opinion of who you are. You know who you are

Don’t let anyone bully you, stand your ground

God reaches out and touches you through the most unlikely people

Smile- even if it means through the flood of your own tears, smile

There is nothing wrong with being driven, focused, motivated and doggedly determined

Pursue what you want. Don’t deprive yourself of realizing your dreams

Take holidays, see the world. Learn how you are but a speck in the ocean of humanity

Let people say whatever they want about you, if it brings happiness to them, then allow them that happiness

Surround yourself with positive people

Give yourself sincerely and wholly to the people that care for you the most

Whatever the hurt is, it will eventually heal

Never underestimate the strength of the human spirit. It is more resilient than you give it credit for

Most of all- always start on a clean sheet. Never carry the baggage of your past into your future.
