Lessons I learned in my 20’s:

Lessons I learned in these times was being a parent. That was the main lesson in my 20’s. The life of really being an adult. Paying bills, working, college, and figuring out life raising kids. That’s a lot in your 20’s. It was hard, but it was a learning process. Everyday was a learning process. You had to go with the routine of working, coming home and making sure the kids are good. It starts over the same process over and over again. These were the 20’s for me. For most people it was living life, going to campus parties, having fun and traveling. For me it was work, college, and parenting. Those were my Lessons in my 20’s.

Lessons learned in 30’s

Now in my 30’s still parenting but I travelled more. I started to get out and see the world. Invest in a business and save. I learned more about credit, loans, starting a business and finding my passion. I moved to different places and learned different things. I enjoyed life a little more.  I felt like in the 30’s I was wiser, stronger, and learning to be at peace. I found my passion and tried new foods and went to events. I opened my eyes to see more of life. We have a lot that went on in the 30’s, kids growing up, mom passed away, just going through more life struggles but learning the grieving part and being at peace in life. Trying to be more positive and do more in the community.

Lessons learned in 40’s

I am just starting my 40’s club. So far Life is bringing me to do more for women and the book club. I know in my 40’s I want to learn more about culture, community work and building a business. I want to also get into ownership. Hopefully I will have my own store where people can come into and also want to make money every day. I am going to work hard on learning the business part in my 40’s. Still Travel and learn about different parts of the world.

Let me know some of your life lessons.
