1. Take time to fall in love with yourself. Get to know yourself and learn what it is like to be alone. Learn to be self-sufficient. Live by yourself for at least a year.
2. Leave the past where it is and keep growing. Always have a plan to do something to evolve. Keep moving forward. You must continue to reinvent and grow or you might as well be dead. Don’t give up on the next by getting stuck in the old.
3. Don’t buy style, develop style. Invest in good shoes and good bags. you can always dress up a cheap outfit with good shoes.
