The 3 quotes that accompanied in my first year of turning 30s

Hi there!
How do you usually spend your birthdays?
I just turned 31.
Instead of dreading getting older, I’m choosing to celebrate the wisdom that comes with age. This past year has been one of acceptance, growth, and courage!
In the spirit of simplicity, here are 3 quotes that I guided my first year of turning 30.
Some might be clichés, but who says it doesn’t work?
Everyone’s already taken, so be yourself
After recognizing that a constant need for validation is not sustainable, this is a reminder to stay true to my beliefs. There is a sense of peace and calm no matter who I meet.
Action over perfection
I can’t count the times I’ve put something off because I wouldn’t be able to create a perfect version of it. Taking the first step is always scariest but most satisfying. There is immense power is being able to say “I did it”. This is how this newsletter started.
Strong opinions, loosely held
This has radically changed how I have conversations. The importance of having a view formed on a evidence, but have the flexibility and grace to evolve with new information.
Looking for new quotes that can help turning 31 even better, so share them with me 😀
