Ivanka Trump has been on this earth for 43 years and she’s learned a thing or two along the way.
The daughter of President-elect Donald Trump, whose birthday was Oct. 30, posted the top 17 life lessons she’s learned on X, formerly Twitter.
“Family and friends are everything,” was the first thing she posted on Nov. 4.
“Family and friends are everything. Nourish these relationships, check in on them, and let people know you care, even across distances,” she wrote.
The second lesson talked about forgiveness.
“It frees you more than anyone else,” Trump wrote.
She said “everyone was sent to teach you something.”
“Every person you meet holds a mirror to a lesson your soul needs to grow,” she wrote.
She also said people need to avoid gossip and should choose their words wisely.
“Choose words that heal, not harm,” Trump wrote.
She also wrote about the importance in believing in oneself.
“Trust yourself. Identify your core values and live in alignment with them; this may mean setting firm boundaries for yourself and with others,” she wrote.
She turned her attention to health and wellness, writing one needs to take care of their body by “eating whole, locally grown, nutritious foods” which “fuel your energy and spirit.”
Getting a daily dose of sunshine is important since “it makes the rest of your day — and night — better,” she wrote.
She quoted renowned psychotherapist Carl Jung in another life lesson.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate,” Jung said.
Trump added, “Bring awareness to your hidden patterns, or they’ll quietly script your life story as if it were destiny.”
Trump motivated the reader to build. “Strong body, strong mind.”
“Move your body daily, lift weights, play sports, and embrace play,” Trump wrote.
She also talked about “three daily wins.”
“A physical win, a mental win and a spiritual win,” she wrote.
Another lesson is to “guard your peace.”
“Epictetus observed, ‘Anyone capable of angering you becomes your master.’ Mastery over self means others don’t control your state of mind.”
Another life lesson included truth.
“Be open to the truth, wherever it leads. Listen, reflect, challenge and grow,” she wrote. “Cultivate creativity and expansion in life and embrace new ideas, connections and art.”
Curiosity is also key.
“Get curious. About your partner, your kids, your friends and the world around you,” she added. “Approach people and life with love and positivity.”
She said it was important to spend time doing what matters.
“Every choice is a trade of your time and energy,” she wrote.
She again quoted Jung, writing, “Thinking is difficult; that’s why most people judge.”
Trump added her own twist by stating, “What you judge, you cannot understand. Instead, observe, study and learn.”
