12 business lessons my husband taught me
that made me the woman I am today:

1. It’s okay to be weird. Different. Misunderstood. Normal people get normal outcomes - your weirdness is a gift.

2. You’re not bad at anything. You need more reps. Stop judging yourself and do the work.

3. At the end of the day we are a tiny spec within a giant galaxy and when we die nothing matters. So stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

4. Anxiety isn’t bad. Being terrified isn’t bad. Fear isn’t bad. The worst case is you continue to feel bad, but you won’t die.

5. Your life is a story. When you’re faced with hard times ask yourself: "What story do I want to tell about what happens next?"

6. Material things are only valuable if they give you attention back rather than take it.

7. If someone hates you and it bothers you. There’s probably truth to it. And so what?

8. Fight for what you want. You can’t expect people to give it to you just because you’re a good person. Be a good person and ALSO fight for it.

9. There are no rules on how much and when to work. When and how to work out. How to be married. Rules are a substitute for people who don’t have values.

10. You don’t need therapy for everything. Accept life is unbearably painful at times, and that’s okay.

11. Happy people don’t spend their lives TRYING to be happy, they do what they want and happiness is a byproduct.

12. The person that’s capable of saving the day and fixing all your problems, is you.

In a world where most tried to keep me in a box. Alex always showed me there were no limits for myself. Inspired me with a vision for my life and self bigger than I ever had.

Thank you for being an example of what a true man is.
