24 Things About Life I Wish I Had Known 10 Years Ago


1. Struggle Is Good. Never say "I can't take it anymore." Say "Bring it on!"

2. Don't Complain. Complaining is the biggest waste of time there is. Either do something about it, and if you can't, shut up about it.

3. Spend Time with People You Love. That's your family and best friends. If you don't have a family, create one. Most people in life are only visitors. Family is for life.

4. Don't Start A Relationship If You're Not in Love. I've done this more than once. You kind of like someone and think: "We might as well give it a shot." Not a good idea. You're either in love, or you are not. Don't fool yourself. It's not fair to you and the other person.

5. Exercise Daily. I didn't get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can't build a healthy and strong body, what CAN you build

6. Keep a Journal. No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. "I don't want to be a writer" you might think. Well, how many emails and texts do you send a day? Everybody is a writer.

7. Be Grateful. Say 'thank you' to everyone and everything. "Thank you for this beautiful day." "Thank you for your email." "Thank you for being there for me."

8. Don't Care About What People Think. We all die in the end, do you really think it matters what people think of you?

9. Take More Risks. Don't be such a wimp.

10. Pick an Industry, Not A Job. If you want to become good

11. Lead the Way. When you find yourself in a situation wher

everyone looks at each other, it's time for you to lead. You're leader when you decide to become one. There's no initiation or a title. Just a decision.

12. Moncy Isn't Important. It really isn't. But you have to train yourself not to care about money. Don't become too dependent on the stuff you own-otherwise, the stuff will own you.

13. Be Nice. I don't mean you should be a pushover. You can be someone that doesn't take shit and be nice about it. Just don't insult people, think you're better than them, or act like an idiot.

14. Learn Every Day. You've got to train your brain to stay alert. You don't have to read a book a day to learn every day. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the people around you be open to what they can teach you.

15. Rest Before You Are Tired. Even if you love your job, and every day seems like a holiday, you need to take time to rest. You're a human and not an android, never forget that.

16. Don't Judge. Just because people make different choices than you, they are not stupid. Also, you don't know everythingbabout people, so don't judge them-help them.

17. Think About Others. Just be mindful, that's all. We all have famílies, bills to pay, and our own issues. Don't always make everything about yourself.

18. Give Without Expecting Something in Return. Don't keep score. You will become a bitter person if you do that. Give solely for the joy of giving. If you get something in return, great, if you don't, great.

19. There's No End Game. We, as species, just are. Don't try to figure it all out. Enjoy your journey.

20. Enjoy Small Things. I like clichés because they are true.

21. Don't Take Yourself So Seriously. Yeah, yeah, you're an individual, and people have to take you seriously, I get it. But at the end of the day, we're all a bunch of ants trying to chase the same things. Lighten up.

22. Don't Blame People. What's the point? Do you want to punish them? You don't do that to people. Also don't blame yourself you're only human.

23. Create Something. Not to leave a legacy, you won't be here to see it anyway, but to be of use. Make music, write a book, build a table, anything. You'll feel good about yourself, plus

you give something back to people to use or enjoy. 24. Never Look Back Too Long. Reflecting on the past is only good for one thing: Learning.

25. Take Action. Don't just sit there, do something. Without action. there is no outcome.
