KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Even when you get something wrong, you are learning. Skills you can use for life.
• See negatives as opportunities. Often you learn big lessons while turning around bad situations.
• There is nothing you can´t ask, which means you can learn anything.
• What is right for others may not be right for you. Don´t be afraid to do things differently.
• If you want to take a career break to raise your kids, take a sabbatical or to study, do it.
• When you take pauses in your life, you make space for new opportunities.
• Remember what you say about others reflects more on you than it does on them.
• Don´t just judge people. Instead, evaluate with compassion.
• The polarity we live with today in society is toxic. We can´t call people names because they do not agree with us.
• When we can self-correct and redirect, we make this world a better place and we can be part of the change.
• Don´t let other people´s opinions be what decides what you do in your life.
• A relationship doesn´t have to be permanent to be successful.
• When your partner leaves you, it is up to you to decide whether you become distrustful or fall in love again.
• Every day, make micro-movements that benefit you e.g., decide to drink something healthy rather than unhealthy more often.
• When you have negative thoughts, recalibrate quickly. What you think greatly impacts how you act.
