Gracie Hunt’s 24 Things She’s Learned in 24 Years
As for the aforementioned “words of wisdom,” you can read them below:
- 1. Don’t worry about the opinions of people you would never ask advice from.
- 2. Say yes and be spontaneous.
- 3. Life is like running a marathon, you just need to focus on the next mile ahead of you.
- 4. Love yourself: our self-perceived imperfections and weaknesses are often our greatest hidden strengths.
- 5. Get outside—even just for a few minutes each day.
- 6. Keep it classy, sassy, and a little bad a$$y.
- 7. Take your vitamins daily and get a blood panel annually (even better if you learn to read it!).
- 8. Learn something new each day.
- 9. Educate yourself on the food you’re eating and how it impacts your health.
- 10. It’s better to be single and focused than dating someone who isn’t right for you and distracts you from your purpose.
- 11. Perspective is everything—make an effort to see things from other points of view.
- 12. Find work that brings you joy and give it your all.
- 13. Make the most of the opportunities before you.
- 14. You can’t be all things to all people.
- 15. Failure is an essential part of life and growth.
- 16. Get right with God and clarity comes more easily.
- 17. Grounding and time in nature helps heal the mind, body, and soul.
- 18. Prioritize sleep—it’s essential to be your best self for you and others.
- 19. Family is everything.
- 20. Cherish each small blessing. This year I went from running multiple marathons to not running at all. You never know when that mile could be your last for a while, so soak in each step.
- 21. Control what you can control and let God handle the rest.
- 22. Finding a fitness goal can help heal hurts & overall health and keep you moving forward.
