25 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. Complain: Complaining is the most significant 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. 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 robust body, what CAN you make
in life?
6. Keep a Journal: No, keeping a journal is not for children.
It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. “l 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.
IO. Pick an Industry, Not A Job: If you want to become good at something, you need to spend years and years doing that. You can’t do that if you hop from industry to industry.
Pick an industry you love and start at the bottom. You will find the perfect role for you eventually.
11. Lead the Way: When you find yourself in a situation where
everyone looks at each other, it’s time for you to lead. You’re a
leader when you decide to become one. There’s no initiation
or a title. Just a decision.
12. Money 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 a 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 everything
about people, so don’t judge them — help them.
17. Think About Others: Just be mindful, that’s all. We all have
families, 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. Especially this one. You know why? Everyone says they know it, but no one lives up to it. They just chase big things.
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.
You might know a lot. But like Socrates, you and I know nothing
at all. So we have to keep learning.
