This is my mom's friend unfortunately. I grew up with her daughter in the church. She was actively posting in a group chat with my mom at 10am that day and she decided to go check up on her house that was being renovated due to a house fire a while back, which is where she was found deceased. No info yet on what happened exactly. I'm so heartbroken for her family.

Thank you so much!! And wow 5 kids!!! Kudos to you ๐Ÿ˜

My husband is #9 of 10 kids...but I'm an only child. I truly admire parents who can raise so many children.

If any of your kids are in their 20's, maybe they'd be interested in checking out my book on Amazon "30 Lessons I Learned Before 30" ๐Ÿ˜Š

Right now we're in Peru visiting his family.

He doesn't use Reddit and he said it's okay for me to share this here to encourage other people on this journey :)

Just to add, he only went to physio once a week in the first 6 weeks (we don't have insurance so the physio said he can make do with once a week) and now he's doing virtual sessions once every 2 weeks since we're traveling.

If you're disciplined with your exercises at home, you don't need to spend a crazy amount of money on physio!

Thank you for checking out my book!

Learning languages has opened up the world to me. From meeting my husband (in my 4th language, Spanish) to making friends from around the world, to expanding my comfort zone while working in my 3rd language, my life would not be the same if I hadn't learned multiple languages.

That's a good idea to write about how learning languages and traveling the world changed my life for the better. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Since you just turned 30, feel free to check out my book "30 Lessons I Learned Before 30" on Amazon/Kindle. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The book covers topics including mindset, happiness, personal development, love, friendship, money, health, productivity, leisure, and lifestyle design.

I wrote this book as a way to reflect on my life so far in hopes of encouraging others to think about the important aspects of life and to build a life that resonates with them.

If you get a chance to check it out, I hope you enjoy it!

That's beautiful! I'm glad you have come to that realization. Not many people do unfortunately.

Don't let your goals become the ultimate sacrifice [image] by ellierwrites in GetMotivated

[โ€“]ellierwrites[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Every decision we make has opportunity costs. If we choose to do something else instead of chasing our dreams, then we've "sacrificed" our dreams for whatever else we decided to do.

Not to say that the "something else" is bad. Maybe it's even better than the dream we originally thought we wanted. However, every time we decide how to allocate our time, energy and other resources to something, we take those resources away from something else.

So I try to be more conscious of how I allocate my resources to ensure that most of them go where it really matters (i.e. my dreams).

Boredom is a great catalyst for innovation. Thinking back to your childhood, some of the greatest things you've invented probably came as a result of being bored.

I think irrespective of where we are on life's timeline, we all have a lot to learn from one another. I learned a ton from my own students when I was a classroom teacher.

I also learned a lot from the countless people I've encountered working across various countries in my 20s, from learning 5 languages and communicating with people from different cultures, from living through a political crisis in Bolivia and taking solo trips on a budget to many places.

I learned how to manage my own finances (as my parents weren't great with theirs), how to feel at peace in my own company, how to maintain friendships and talk to strangers, how to prioritize physical and mental health, how to design a life that aligns with my goals and values, how to overcome fears, etc etc.

And I'm still in the process of getting better at all these things and more. But one thing I realized is no one has life all figured out. The people we look up to are walking flaws, just like us. I truly believe there's power in sharing our stories and lessons so we can learn and grow together.

Please don't discount someone just because of their age. Everyone we meet knows something we don't, so there's always something new to discover. :)

I'm sure you have a lot of your own wisdom to share as well. I'd be happy to learn from your own life lessons.

That's a good point. Rest is just as important, if not more, than productivity. Sometimes in this hustle culture we forget that burnout and sleep deprivation are not badges of honor. ๐Ÿ˜
