I am 23 years old

So here are 23 life lessons I've learned so far

1. Stop caring so much about what others think. For the most part, their opinions are completely irrelevant

2. Learn to say no without explaining yourself. You don't owe anyone an explanation

3. Working out is not optional, it's mandatory

4. Never cheap out on toilet paper

5. Cash flow is king. Create a positive cash flow strategy

6. A failure not simply a failure, it's a lesson to better prepare yourself for your next attempt

7. Getting sunlight everyday matters more than you think it does

8. Anything worth having does not come easy. Hard work trumps all else

9. Don't smoke marijuana

10. Get knocked down twice, stand up three times

11. Not even a global pandemic can stop me

12. Yes, focus on the future. But not so much that you forget to live in the moment

13. You may lose old friends but you will gain new ones

14. Procrastination is a slow, painful poison

15. Give to others expecting nothing in return

16. If you lend someone money, don't expect to get it back

17. Only you have the power to create the life you want. No one else

18. Take the long way home occasionally while enjoying the scenery around you. Earth is so beautiful

19. Patience isn't optional. Learn how to be patient

20. Leaving your comfort zone is the best possible thing you can do

21. Look for one positive in every negative

22. Do not get angry or upset about things you cannot control

23. NEVER. GIVE. UP.
