Three things I have learnt about life by the age of 40:

1. It is never too late to start looking after yourself. And when you do, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
2. Learning to put myself first sometimes was one of the hardest but most rewarding lessons I’ve had to learn, particularly not feeling guilty when I do it.
3. You have the life you have by choice. You choose who to love and how to live. You choose what to accept and what to change.

Three things that I have learnt about love by the age of 40:

1. At 40, you can love as passionately as a teenager and behave the same way.
2. There truly is someone out there who will light up your soul, challenge your thinking and make you grow, and know you better than you know yourself. Don’t settle.
3. Loving yourself is the most important love you will ever give and receive. It makes you a better person.

Three things I have learnt about happiness by the age of 40:

1. You are responsible for your own happiness, no one else. It is the choices you make, ever day.
2. Being content is not the same as being happy.
3. Do things that make you happy every day. Why not? The cleaning will be there again tomorrow.

A life lived without happiness is not a life lived.
