Seriously Top 15 life lessons I’m glad I learned at 21 and not 41:
1. You need to start
This is your only life.
It’s too short to keep putting off doing what you want to do
Live your life for you - not anyone else.
2. Your environment is crucial
Regardless of how disciplined or motivated you are
If you’re in the wrong environment you’ll never get anything done.
3. Be ready to pivot
Things change, plans fall through and life happens
Be ready and willing to pivot when chasing your goals according to what feedback you’re getting.
4. Books are mental masturbation
I love reading, I love learning.
But too much reading and not enough doing is just like binge-watching Youtube.
Read, apply, repeat
5. You need to be selfish
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
So be selfish, fill your cup first and then you can be selfless and pour into others.
6. The gym is preparation
In the gym, your mind is telling you to quit the whole time.
By not quitting, you’re building your mental fortitude and resilience in preparation for life.
7. You can’t stop learning
The moment you stop learning, you stop progressing.
Acquire new knowledge, learn new skills, apply, progress, repeat.
8. Not everyone wants you to win
Learn to recognise those that truly want the best for you and those who don’t.
Cut the latter out.
9. Risk is a part of life
Whether you’re taking a new job, starting your own business or moving country
Anything that has the potential to improve your life involves risk
Embrace it.
10. Challenge your beliefs
Why do you believe something? Because your parents told you? Because the news told you?
Challenge what you believe, be willing to listen to opposing opinions and always be ready to learn.
11. Money can buy happiness
Money can buy you time freedom, location freedom and most importantly
The opportunity to do what actually makes you happy.
12. You need discomfort
Whether it’s physical discomfort in the gym or mental discomfort when chasing your goals
Embracing discomfort is the key to long-term fulfilment.
13. Nobody knows what they’re doing
No, really.
Nobody has it all figured out, everyone is just blindly taking a step in what is hopefully the right direction.
14. Failure isn’t final
Failure is nothing but a sign telling you which direction not to go.
Stop treating it like a never-ending red light.
15. Consistency always wins
Talented but not consistent? You’ll fail.
Hard-working but not consistent? You’ll fail.
So long as you have consistency - you’ll win (eventually)
