Things I know at
age 45 that I wish
I knew at 22:
>>>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 the
feedback you're getting.
4. Books are mental masturbation
| love reading, | 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 that 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 to a new
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. 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.
14. 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)
