And at 19, you think you rule the world, and you can control things. And a lot of times, you don't.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As you get older, you learn there are some things out of your control.
At 19, you know everything; by the time you're 40, you haven't got a clue.
When I was younger, I thought you had to be in control of your own life. That takes a lot of discipline, hard work and focus. You just can't let it all fall by the wayside. Later on, I learned that God is really in control of everything. But you still have to put your best foot forward and be the best you can possibly be.
You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.
When I was 20, I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young, you want everything to happen now. As you mature, you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.
How does anybody change from the time that they're 18 till they're 25? Everything kind of changes. You see the world much differently, and you get your priorities in order a little bit more.
When you're 20, we all make stupid and impulsive decisions.
When you're in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it's very hard to judge yourself.
The truth is that at age 19, I was a teenage mother living alone with my daughter in a trailer and struggling to keep us afloat on my way to a divorce. And I knew then that I was going to have to work my way up and out of that life if I was going to give my daughter a better life and a better future, and that's what I've done.
At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.
