I’ve made a TON of mistakes.

If I could,
I’d send these 21 words of advice,
to my 21-year-old self.

[[ A THREAD ]]

Reward toxic people in your life,

With distance.

The government won’t save you.

There aren’t enough stimulus checks to dig you out of your bad habits.

Take responsibility for your life.

You are the cause and the solution.

Learn to drive a stick.

Racecar drivers don’t drive automatic.

Soccer moms drives automatic.

Be insanely curious.

“I am neither clever or especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.” Albert Einstein

Always buy anything kids are selling on card tables in their front yards.

Ask them, “What’s the most anyone has bought today?”

“Five? I’ll take ten.”

If bad things always seem to happen to you or if the world is out to get you,

It’s most likely you.

Eminem Once said,

“I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, i'll be nice to you. Simple as that!”

Live like that.

The cringiest response in the world to me is “I can’t”.

Yes. You can.

If I paid you $100,000 to figure it out, by the end of the day, could you do it?

Yes. Of course.

So figure it out.

What you focus on expands.

Happiness.
Sadness.
Opportunity.
Courage.

Pay attention to what you’re focusing on.

Be fearless.

Even when you’re not.

Take one miracle shot a day.

At the end of a year that’s 365 shots on goal.

Eventually, one of those shots gets in the net.

Question everything.

Question your faith.
Question your political views.
Question your motives.

Most of the time we only see what we want to see.

Sit with your grandparents and ask about their life.

Get their story.
On video if possible.

Trust me on this.

Study the Circadian Rhythm.

I have no idea why this isn’t taught in schools.

Once a year, do something that scares the shit out of you,

From now, until forever.

Travel. A lot.

Make a list of 10 dream trips.
Pick one.
Put it on the calendar for 3 months out.
Put down a deposit,
Ask to make it non-refundable.

Your brain will figure the rest out.

There is zero reason you can’t start investing right now.

$5 a month is the entry drug to a full stock portfolio and a fully funded Roth IRA.

Silence is sometimes the loudest response.

Speak loudly.

We live in a world filled with distractions.

Success rewards focus.

Taking action changes everything.

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” -CG Jung

In conclusion, I’d like to leave you with this.

Don’t half ass life.
No regrets.
None.
