Stacey's son Griffin turned 18 last week and she came up with this list.
- When someone says you ‘can’t' do something in your life, it means they couldn't do it, not that you can’t.
- Be kind always. You never know what someone is going through and we all struggle with something.
- Learn how to drive before you leave home. Never depend on others to get you where you need to go.
- If you don't have a passion yet, explore & learn new skills.
- Do what you love. It’s just as lame to NOT do something you want because it's 'too mainstream' as it is to do something only because the 'cool kids are doing it.’
- Failing is not a bad thing. Failure is just the universe trying to nudge you in the direction you were meant to go.
- Save money and learn how to live within your budget. You will thank yourself later on.
- Learn to trust your gut when you find yourself in strange situations. If something feels off or wrong, it probably is.
- The way through any challenge is to get still and think about the next right move. Don’t get overwhelmed by it and know your life is bigger than that moment.
- Cashiers don't care if you buy condoms.
