Stunning thank you😀🌻
Thanks!!!
Thankyou for summarizing ❤❤❤
One big lesson I have learned is: Someone else’s opinion of me are actually none of my business. I live for God and for myself. Be happy with me and that’s all that matters
Make it even better: Live for yourself & have a great time not stepping up on other people, & you'll be fine. I learned this the hard way, but I am making the most of it now.
Amen
Thanks for these beautiful wise advice. I'm in my 40's learning and evolving daily. It's hard. Because I have no support at least to share how I feel though I have a big family. Everyone is judging and taking kindness and honesty for granted.
The biggest lesson I have learned is summed up by a quote from Maya Angelo: “When people show you who they are believe them the first time”.
What I've learned over time is to not dwell in the past-- on past mistakes or past choices or even think too long about good times and what was. It doesn't serve us to take ourselves from the present and what is happening right here, right now. Every "now" will become a memory. Let them be happy and keep looking forward to what we can create and change and be.
Yes - no regrets. Everything serves as a powerful gift.
I needed to hear this!!! Thank you
Thank you so much for this advice. 💗
"Done is better than perfect!" Well done.❤
One big lesson is that don’t believe people who said you are not enough(smart enough). Actually I am enough, I completed my PhD and still I feel like I have many more milestones to achieve. I am just starting my 40s. Thank you for being a lamp for us !!
I will be 47 this month and I have learned to keep my mouth shut. I am also learning to watch my facial expressions as they have gotten me into big trouble. Burned multiple times. Every year is a journey, never stop growing for YOU. In the end, it’s just me and the Lord.
Great comment, I too am having to be more aware of my facial expressions. They’ve definitely started unwanted conversations.
This is sound advice. I forget these things sometimes too. Thanks for the reminder!
Happy birthday! At 66, I can attest to the idea that every decade gets better! Today is my 44th wedding anniversary. It's a wonderful day!
Happy 44th Anniversary - that is FANTASTIC!
Happy anniversary!!!
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen thank you!
@@Rose80388 thanks, so kind of you!
@@patriciamoran9143 just had my 36 th on the 11th
Thank you so much! I needed this today! ❤ God bless you! My most important life lesson: VALUE the person in front of Me - the cashier, family member, co-worker, friend or whoever - smile, be kind, treat them with so much VALUE because they are precious and my bright smile and warmth is just what they need!
Yessssssss - this is everything!
I’ve learned over the years (shy of my 49th birthday) to do something that brings you JOY everyday!! 💕 👸🏼
Happy Birthday just turned 60 June 8, 1964 and this year I learned my Ikigai 💚
At 23 I’ve learned never idolize anyone or anything to be a source of your entire fulfillment. Have a wide range of happiness sources like hobbies/ friends, spiritual source, etc. social media has taught my generation that we need superficial means to obtain happiness instead of working from the inside out
I am 41. My greatest life lesson I have learned over the past 20 years is that hard times and traumatic experiences are the MOST important catalyst for personal growth. ❤
Agreed❤
So true. I'v got into more troubles because I'm trying to be too generous just forgetting about my life. Until then , i v never knew what life is. Thankfully I'v evolved and grew up, and I'm just turned 43'.
Turned 60 in February. I’m thankful to still be here.
Me too! My birthday is in February as well and I turned 60!
You look amazing 🤩
I’ll be 44 years old in August and I’ve learned how important it is to take risks. Try something new, even if it’s small. It keeps life interesting. I’ve also learned that it’s okay to let go of people and things that are not in alignment with me and where I’m going. It can be painful but necessary to let people go when it’s time or if you’ve been given a sign that they don’t belong in your life. New and better things will come ❤
Happy Birthday!🎉 My biggest lessons at 51 years young: be a solution oriented thinker rather than problem minded, this too will pass, smile as often as possible-it lightens the soul and brightens other people up, do it with love even if it isn’t always something that brings you joy, be present-act with intention-let it go already. 😊
Yesss - live in the solution instead of the problem🙂
A very Happy, Healthy, Belated Birthday Sophie! And many more.
I've learned that when I get overwhelmed with household chores to remember that, I have a home, dirty laundry because I have clothes, dirty dishes because I have food, etc. I try to remember to be thankful for all I have. I have a tendency to dwell on the negative, so working on the positive.
Thank you for being the person you are and all you do for women.
1. Do it imperfectly. DO IT ANYWAY. DONE is better than perfect.
2. Protect your energy. Avoid energy vampires- things or people
3. Have a compelling vision of future yourself & make small daily investments to that vision
4. Learn to SNAP OUT of fight or flight situations. Ask - what do you want to feel & see now
5. Magic morning mindset routine
6. Dont judge - we have no total comprehension of what people go thru. Hurt people hurt others. Happy people don’t do that
7. BE PRESENT in all tasks we do ‘Wash the dishes beautifully’.
8. Never give up. It’s never too late to do what makes your heart sing. There’s always an opportunity out there as long as u don’t give up.
BONUS : Learn to say NO to things while saying YES to yourself
To live in the moment! Lost my health at 50, I’m now 59 so I take each day and try to really focus on the present. 🤩🙏💛
I am so sorry you lost your health. Our health is indeed priceless, and I hope you are okay now.
Found this channel on my 48th birthday and so grateful to see your video ! One of my life lessons I've learnt over the last 28 years is " The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it "
I learnt that EVERYTHING that I want on the outside can be manifested from my internal power. I can project out what I want as long as I raise my own conviction.
I tell myself to focus on inviting more peace and joy to each day
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I am also 60 and have learned to set boundaries and not be manipulated, especially from my mom.
Happy Birthday Georgeous! 🎉 What I have learnt after my 60 is that I do not HAVE to do anything, I do what I WANT or what I DECIDE to do😊. thank you for a lovely reminder❤
I loved "wash the dishes beautifully" best. Which is really about mindfulness and making the best of the present moment. My biggest lesson is that it's not worth hating anyone and that forgiving others brings you so much more peace and harmony to your life that you can't afford to not forgive. Believe me, I've been through stuff too, but I see how much easier life is for me, living in forgiveness than for those I know who continue to harbour hatred.
I guess forgiving means let go , what you meant here . Yes, that's a huge relief. However, other people remain the same eternally.
In my 20s I learned to stay very close to God ,to mind my own business,focus on my journey and accept the hellish moments of it and the nice moments , especially to stay a life long learner to better myself and live an interesting life .
Happy birthday! I am new here and really enjoyed this video. I had two heart attacks and a mini stroke last year from Covid and my life lesson is to treat each precious moment with reverence and recognize it for how sacred it is. The fact that we are only here because of our next heartbeat and breath is a miricale in itself. Don't take life or each other for granted. In the end, it's all about the love.
Happy Birthday Sophie! Welcome to the 60’s club!! Wishing you a beautiful day! I have learned that when people hurt me, it is due to their own insecurities or regrets and that it is never too late to follow our dreams and passions! Thank you for all you do for so many! 💕
Yessss! I'm in my 30s but i have already realized that done is better than perfect.
You brought tears to my eyes.
It all made sense to me.
I am grateful.
My gift to u is thank you for sharing. You have articulated what is in my heart soul and body.
Continue to live your truth. God bless u❤😊
Happy Birthday! Be happy, a good woman!🎉
I turn 60 in Dec… feeling my best in years, my happiness is good plant based foods, great walks, happy family to love. Is the secret 😊
Oh, me too! 60 on the 9th of December and I have all kinds of great things planned for my birthday week. My father died at 50, and when I think of all the things I've been able to do in that extra decade that he never had, I'm just so grateful to still be here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are looking GORGEOUS! ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday! I'm so glad I found you! I just subscribed. My little gift to you is: Don't postpone things you desire for later, get to work now; life can and will pass you by. I didn't get to have kids. I'm still praying for a miracle. Thanks for the encouragement to get going on other things. God bless you. 🌺
Just happened on your channel and what I've learned over time is whatever you need will come to you. I was needing to hear just exactly what you said in your video today, like I already knew it somehow and I just clicked on it. Thanks you're very wise I'm grateful for your insights.
I believe the same.
And if you are open to the right things coming to you at the right time - they absolutely will.
Inspirational video ( I wash the dishes listening to rock music! )
Amazing video Darling. Happiest of birthdays on this new chapter. I will follow all 8 lessons. I have learned many things over the years . A few are : progress not perfection. Time is your greatest asset- choose wisely how you spend your time. Money management - Invest without fear once you have done your research. Eat super clean. Detox often ( mentally and physically). Travel NOW not later - enjoy the dividends later. Love is the answer. Minimalism is my current focus ( specially when traveling)
happy birthday, Gorgeously Sophie🤗
what gorgeously messages in a gorgeously morning
I'm 59 1/2 and THRILLED to have stumbled upon this channel!
This lady is so beautiful soul, powerful message 💖 and I need this today x 💜 wish you all the best. Izabela
I learnt to kerp going and never give up, learnt how to be authentic as to best version of myself in the current circumstances ❤I learnt that not everyone had good intentions and how important is to recognise that
I’m only 55 and you just popped up in my feed… new subscriber from Australia xx
You are beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing the tips
What I learned most significant one is learn myself more than anything!
Deep. Thks
Happy Birthday Sophie! Have a fabulous day and wonderful year ahead!!
Thank you very much! You are very beautiful and very wise 😊🫶🌷
Loved this. Very inspirational and relatable content ❤ one thing I’ve slowly learned is to treat myself with the love and kindness I show others. We waste so much time and energy on being so harsh on ourselves. Journaling and consistent gratitude practice has been a real positive mind shift tool for me too.
Yes - what a waste of our precious and beautiful life to constantly criticize ourselves - so very true.
Happy birthday.🎉 Great message. Thank you for sharing ❤
It’s always surprising when I’m watching a philosophical video and hear “this is a big block for so many women”. Because, well, I’m a guy. These same challenges are more universal than many realize. : ) Great video, thank you.
To your request, I think the most important life lesson I’ve learned in the past 20 years comes from Anais Nin: “We do not see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.”
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤
What a Blessing!!! Happy Birthday 🎉 Give yourself a hug you deserve the best!!
Happiest of Birthdays beautiful Sophie! 🤗❤️❤️❤️
HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY SOPHIE ❤.. You’re such a beautiful lovely spirit, thank you so much for sharing so much wisdom! At 72, I must say your insights and wisdom are amazing, you are greatly appreciated and an inspiration to all! Love to you.
Happy Birthday ❤️ in my 44 years of life my biggest lesson thus far has been to be my 100% authentic self no matter the situation… be true to myself🙏🏼
It's taken me 46 years to eventually be 100% true to myself
Let it be... and let it go! 🦋
Point 4: shift focus 🌸
What do you want ?
How do you want to feel?
What has to happen ?
What else is available?
What else could be true ❤?
Thank you for these questions I'm going to be 29 and has some fear of age but when i saw you in your health comfortable peace with your self graduate talking from your heart ❤l become more clam to face the new age , you are good example to my future self🌸🌿
Thanks from Iraq
one lesson ive learnt is mental health issues are a bummer but through resilience and inner strength, you can get thru anything.
Happy Birthday! Very insightful 💕
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned
Is to accept change, be open minded and flexible.
Ahhh happy birthday!! My goal is to look as good as you at 60! Beautiful message- thank you for sharing your life's wisdom with us. My biggest wisdom to share is no matter what the situation is, it is definitely always better to go in from a position of positive energy... believe me! Cheers to you!🎉🎉🎉
That morning magic mindset routine is not dissimilar to one I use and have found to be just what I need to make me feel human again: gratitude, meditation, journaling, work on my vision (your future self point), that kind of thing. It makes a world of difference to mornings for me.
Happy birthday! I’m crying listening to you ❤
Happy birthday! This is my first experience of you and the universe was kind enough to drop you into my feed at precisely the right time. I’m very excited to discover your whole catalogue of wisdom. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I wish you a wonderful Birthday! Thank you for these 8 golden nuggets of wisdom. I've learned (painfully at times) you must let go of what you believed situations/people to be and learn to accept and deal with how they really are. Life is full of surprises, some good and some not so good. At 51, I find myself still learning how to bend without breaking.
Bend without breaking - love it...makes you more and more flexible.
Stunning thank you🌻
Happy Birthday 🌷🌷🌷🌷🎂🎂🩵……love your channel and very helpful information
Happy Birthday Sophie! Thank you for always giving us the gift of your wonderful advise and inspiration! Wishing you the best always!
Thank you for your lovely comment.
Happy birthday,
So so true, I'll be 60 next year and ran my first marathon despite many injuries and set backs.
Refuse the can't do and go for crazy goals and most importantly have fun along the way
I’ve learned about protecting myself from the energy vampires.
Happy Birthday! Wonderful video!
Much love and many blessings on your birthday.🎉❤Many thanks for sharing hard earned wisdom
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOFIE 🎉
Happy birthday!! Thank you for all your hard work on this channel. Your channel has helped me focus on my better heath and life style journey. I am turning 50 this September and i have struggled with health issues for the last 15 years. My biggest lesson i have learned is to move everyday and do a little something for yourself. I think we are always focused on helping others or being responsible for our families that we put ourselves on the back burner. I now focused on myself guilt free. What a difference it has made for my mental health as well as my physical well being.
Cheers
Yes - what wonderful advice🙂
Thank you for sharing. I’m 46 and a stay at home mother of small children. I really needed these in this season of my life.
Such precious message 💖, Thank you
Happy birthday Sophie! You are a HUGE inspiration in my life, thank you from Bonnie Scotland ❤
Happy Birthday Sophie 🎉! Thank you so much from France
Me too from France, in the Aude. 😊
Happy birthday Sophie have a wonderful day x
Happy Birthday - I loved this video!
Thank you so much for this beautiful video 💜 One of the biggest lesson I have learned is to be patient. Being more patient with everything would have changed my life on so many levels. I rushed into things and did not realize they take time. But I am grateful I am aware of this now and as you say, it is never too late :)
Happy birthday Sophie!! I love your channel. You are a wonderful mentor as we gracefully age. The best things I incorporated into my life as I got older were gratitude and not taking anything for granted, prayer and worship, resistance training, decreased alcohol consumption, and to move every day. Thanks for sharing all your wisdom. Enjoy your day ❤
Jessica - wonderful, and well done:-)
loving it
❤YES! Beautiful advice. Thank you- and happy happy birthday 🎂
Beautiful ideas Sophie! 🎉Happy Birthday…you look amazing!🎈🫶
Happy B-day!! I still use your first book as reference, you were inspirational for me to start being more green. 🥰I needed this today as reminder.
Thank you - this was very inspiring.
Happiest Birthday to You my dear, Sophie💚
First off, you are beautiful! You glow. Such wonderful life lessons. I wish I had learned some of them sooner. 😀 My best manager had very high standards and expectations. She taught me that sometimes good is good enough. Aka done is better than perfect. This took me a looong time to understand and practice but boy has it helped me.
Loved this video so much that I just subscribed!
Happy Birthday, Sophie!! 🎊🎈🍧🎂🎶
Yesterday i turned 60! Giving my best life!
You and I ...Geminis! Happy Birthday.
