30 Life Lessons I've Learned in 30 Years 🎉 

This was a big one recently: Don't live each day as of it's your last. Live each day as if it is your FIRST. That just really resonated with me. I have anxiety and often find myself working from a place of fear. This lesson helped me to shift and come from a place of ... wonder. Good stuff.

One of the best lessons I’ve been learning lately, is that you have to take responsibility for your life, because no one is going to do it for you. Sometimes the only person who can give you the kick up the butt you need is yourself :)

1. Nothing is as bad as your mind makes it out to be 2. Nobody knows what's right for you but you 3. If it doesn't fit, don't force it 4. Gratitude is powerful 5. Be patient 6. There's never a perfect time 7. Confidence comes from doing 8. Growth comes from getting out of your comfort zone 9. Listen to your intuition 10. Honour your values 11. Good communication is key 12. This too shall pass 13. Take the initiative 14. Perfection does not exist 15. You can have balance 16. Life is full of nuances (nothing is ever black or white) 17. Failure is a learning experience 18. Self-compassion is life changing 19. Self-worth is steadfast 20. Think critically 21. Lessons from childhood.. 22. It's ok to ask for help 23. Listen mindfully 24. We can't have all the answers but we can always keep learning 25. Health/wellness can become obsessive 26. Compare less 27. "Unproductiveness is not laziness. It's either perfectionism, fear, not knowing where to start, feeling inadequate, or being stretched too thin." 28. Say sorry when you're wrong 29. When it all gets too much, take sth out. 30. Trust the flow of life.

A good lesson I have learned is that "theris always something better coming", because in many times I have felt so upset about losing something (a friend, a job, etc), but you need to know that there is a superior reson why that is not in your life anymore. Just trust 💫

Happy Birthday Meghan x You can't control others; how they behave, what they say or do. You can only control your own choices in life. Once you stop getting upset at the behaviour of others and focus on yourself things get so much easier. That's probably my biggest life lesson in 56 years on this planet.

The hardest lesson I've learned is to listen to myself and know my truth.

One lesson I learned was from the wonderful and optimistic Dolly Patron "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain".... So darn true!

Hey Meghan! I guess one of the best lessons I've learned is simply accept our emotions as they are in the present moment. We often push emotions away or try to deny them, when the key is actually accept them. So, for example, when I'm sad I just accept the fact that I'm sad. And that's fine, because I know is temporary. It's something that definitely needs practice, but once you've done the work, it's honestly life changing. Thank you for inspire us!

Happy Birthday, dear Meghan🥰❤❤❤ Love you so much!!! Btw! Whoever is reading this comment.. Buy a book called You are a badass❤❤❤

This may sound cynical, but I've learned that everyone can be relied upon to act on whatever they feel is in their best interest from their level of understanding and authenticity. It makes my and others' actions way more understandable.

Really appreciated this video, Meghan, thank you for making it! I think something I've learned/realised is you cannot please everyone and not everyone will like you - but that it's Ok and you have to be you and your genuine self. Your channel has brought me much comfort, especially during this difficult period of Covid. Much love! X

So young and so wise! Thank you for such important lessons! Many blessings.

Meghan, I just discovered your channel and let me tell you... I'm obsessed! I've been watching your videos whenever I have some free time, it's all I do lol! Congrats for your amazing youtube channel and your 30th!

Awesome lessons, Meghan! Continue to learn & grow! Awesome video!

my lesson: question the narratives the mind creates. it's his habit and way of work, and can be delusive.

I got my back. I trust myself that I will figure it out, that I will get it done, that no matter what... my self-worth is steadfast. You nailed it with that one. It is not about ego, but of trust ... in one self.

I loved all the lessons, Meghan, especially number 30. Trust God ( our Creator ) because everything is under His control and He is the most Loving and Caring.

I love how passioned you express about all these things, thanks Meghan! 🤍

You're such an inspiration for me! It's the best channel I discovered last year! I wish you all the best!

Happy birthday Meghan! 🥳

Valuable lessons. Thank you for sharing and happy birthday ❤️

Happy bday lov

Happy birthday! Love that dress!

Thank you for this wonderful video Meghan. This came at the perfect time.

My Mum's birthday is same as yours Megan!! I love your videos, started listening to them yesterday. Thank you 😊 💓 Cynthia

Happy Birthday. You are amazing. I wish I had learnt as much as you have about life by the time I turned 30. I have just turned 60 and some of these were eye openers for me - guess we never stop learning. Thanks for the inspiration xx

You are filled with all kinds of wisdom. Thanks for sharing this.

Happy birthday Meghan! You always inspire me. Stay blessed and keep safe. Much love 💕

Happy birthday!! The quote i try to remember (it is kind of a lesson as one you mentioned) "Everything ends with an Happy End. If you are not happy it simply means it is not the end" - i heard it in an (awsome!!) movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel". :)

I'm turning 30 in a couple of months and I hate it but I accept it...your excitement makes me feel better about it too. An important lesson I learned is no one really cares that much what u do. Like if u embarrass yourself they might not even notice. And if they do they will forget it pretty fast. Alot of these things we have been told but must be learned with experience...

"Live to the fullest, coz all we have is now" somehow this quote makes me calm from anxiety i have.. i really study hard about life has its own law.. Thankyou for sharing tho.. Happy birthday 🎉

My favorite part is " it's not two peas in a pot, it's two peas in a pod" " it's not human beans, it's human beings" . Love it!

Happy birthday, Meghan!🙌😘 Loving all the lessons, 21 just made me lol😁 thank you so much for sharing 🌞

Happy Birthday 🎊! Continue to glow

Lesson number 1 was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you!

Happy late birthday!

Happy Birthday Beautiful ❤️ 🎂

Lived this .I'm 56 years old and it's good too hear these things .

Happy Birthday!!!🎉

I was not a patient person either, but after having my 2 kids, patience is my best quality.

Touch people more. When you're talking to them lightly touching their shoulder or arm, goes such a long way in connecting and making people feel not so alone. Kids too!!

Oh Meghan! I can listen to you for hours and hours.

OMG, that's one of the most important and valuable videos I've ever watched on RU-vid 😍😍 it's like I'm reading a book! Thanks for sharing this with us, we love you ❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely love this.

Happy Birthday from Kashmir India 🎂 🎂

Happy birthday, although you are half my age but I learn a lot from you, good job and keep going

Great video, Meghan. To add to the reasons for unproductiveness, I would say that it could also be the feeling that you must do a job that is unfulfilling (which you may or may not want to consciously admit).

Happy Birthday 😊

Happy belated 30th birthday 🎂🎉🎈

I love how wise you are, thanks for giving us your time🙏❤

Happy Birthday Meghan!!! I just turned 30 too about 10 days ago (January 16). It was an interesting video to watch! May you have many more joys in your life :)

Related to what Meghan shared as her 29th lesson: Saying 'yes' to something, means you are saying 'no' to another priority/task etc. Useful reminder when you feel overwhelmed with lots to do. It's a reminder to prioritise and set boundaries.

Happy Birthday, Meghan! I'm so happy I came across yong channel last year. 💖 whenever I watch your videos, you're like a mentor/big sister who reminds me to take care of myself or be at peace with myself. 💙 I wish you more happy, and healthy years to come! 💖💖

Great tips great video I am over 30.. it's still good to hear all the tips

Happy birthday!!! Thank you for these 2 or 3 years !! I love your channel !! You've been a great teacher for me and, going through my healing process was so much better with all the información You share and your company. I'm grateful for this! I hope more people discover your channel and follow you ❤️

Happy birthday to you

I have been working on self acceptance. My little mantra lately has been, "I am okay with myself." It's nothing profound, but for some reason the word "okay" is a much easier milestone for me.

Happy birthday 🎂 💐

Hello from France ! Love this video really ! My favorite thought when I'm anxious : Don't worry everything is going to be ok. The best is yet to come.

Hello Ms.Mhegan..."being in 30's is such a great time of our lives,, we learn so much💙💙💙

Thank you for this!

Wow Megan you smashed it!!! Soooo amazing you and your videos!!! I love my 30s you too!! 💕 Happy Birthday 🎂 beautiful! Xxx

If you can't do anything about it, don't worry about it. I read about this in a magazine and it just stuck with me. I'm still learning to live bij this, but I'm not as impatient anymore when I'm behind a slow driving vehicle and I can't overtake it, I just stay behind it and try to enjoy the view around me as long at it is safe.

A very Happy Birthday to you Meghan Welcome to 30

Amazing Just THANK YOU💖💖💖💖👍👍👍

Happy birthday!😊😊😊💕💕. All great lessons! Self-compassion and not taking too much on must be the top 2! Sending many good wishes your way!😊😊😊💕💕

That lesson no. 21🤗😍

Happy Birthday Meghan 💕

omg loved the peas in a pod realisation!! when I was a kid there's an English nursery rhyme that says 'pour on water' and I always sang 'poor old water' !

Thank you Meghan, I needed this today!

Happy b-day! 🎉🎈Your thoughts on this topic were very interesting and wise, thank you for sharing! Lesson that I learnt this year was - try not to lie to yourself, especially when it comes to your values. Not being honest with yourself is making you unable to know your true self, your purpose and achieve true fulfillment.

Happy 30th lovely Meghan! Stay well xx

I love your calm, non judgemental and positive energy! So many great tips.. Personally I found no. 1, no. 18 and no.22 unbelievably helpful... Thank you! ❤️🙏 P. s. Happy birthday!! 😊🎂🎉💐
