Seven Decades, Seven Truths: Life Wisdom from My Journey
I celebrated my birthday yesterday—and as I often do around this time, I paused to reflect. I looked back on the years, the lessons, the growth, and the moments that shaped me.
Fittingly, the Sun and Earth also shifted into new Human Design gates, both rich with energy that supports introspection:
🌞 The Sun entered the gate of processing and analyzing experience to find meaning.
How do I take what I’ve lived and turn it into wisdom?
🌍 The Earth moved into the gate of learning through trial and error, asking us to pause, go inward, and break old patterns.
How do I let my intuition lead the way toward growth and evolution?
With those questions as my guide, I gathered seven key pieces of wisdom—one for each decade I’ve lived. Here’s what life has taught me:
WISDOM #1: Nourish yourself first.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t be fully present for others if you’re depleted. Prioritize yourself. It’s not selfish—it’s essential.
WISDOM #2: Mindset matters more than you think.
You can see life as a struggle, or you can see it as a series of sacred lessons. I choose the latter. Life becomes richer when you welcome challenges as teachers.
WISDOM #3: You won’t always know the “why”—and that’s okay.
There’s a cosmic intelligence at work, far beyond our understanding. Trying to control or figure out everything is exhausting. Pause. Breathe. Trust. The Serenity Prayer? Lifesaver.
WISDOM #4: Joy lives in the little things.
Make space for what lights you up. Savor the ordinary magic. Gratitude for small pleasures creates big shifts in your heart, mind, and body.
WISDOM #5: Be in your life.
Don’t watch it from the sidelines. Life isn’t something to “get through”—it’s something to experience. Be present. Be awake. Be here. Now is all we truly have.
WISDOM #6: Trust your intuition.
It’s always speaking to you—in goosebumps, gut feelings, gentle nudges. Your inner knowing is sacred. Start listening.
WISDOM #7: Love yourself fiercely.
You were never meant to be like anyone else. Your uniqueness is your magic. The most powerful thing you can do is love yourself—deeply, fully, unconditionally.
So there they are—seven soul truths from seven decades of living. My gift to you.
