If you are in your twenties listen up

Here’s what I wish I could tell my younger self:

Be kind to others and especially yourself.

You will become much happier, fulfilled, and more pleasant to be around.

Kindness goes beyond being ‘nice’ or polite -

it is about being intentional and going above and beyond to extend your compassion.

Everything takes time

I get it, you want things to be an overnight success. Everything that seems to happen instantly will crumble just as fast.

Appreciate the journey and take the time to do things the right way, even if takes a bit longer to get there

Be curious about other people

You don’t need to be famous to connect with other people.

Approach each conversation (even with a stranger) in an open manner and seek to learn as much as you can

You will be surprised at how much someone else can teach you about yourself.

Write down your values

Most people are very good at setting goals, but terrible at staying consistent enough to reach them.

Listing them down will help you visualize and reinforce your growth trajectory and help you become the person you want to be

Build good daily habits
Your habits form the framework of your identity (good or bad).

Start accumulating good ones early and set yourself up for success instead of wasting years trying to break bad ones.

Have fun in the present

Don’t work your whole life in slave to the future - you wont notice it pass you by until it's already too late

And lastly....buy Bitcoin :)
