15 Life Lessons I'm Glad I Learned At 21 and Not 41


1. You need to start



This is your only life.

It's too short to keep putting off doing what you want to do

Live your life for you - not anyone else.

2. Your environment is crucial





Regardless of how disciplined or motivated you are

f you're in the wrong environment you'll never get anything done

3. Be ready to pivot



Things change, plans fall through and Life happens

Be ready and willing to pivot when chasing your goals according to what feedback you're getting

4. Books are mental masturbation





I love reading, love learning.

But too much reading and not enough doing is just like binge-watching

Youtube.

Read, apply, repeat

5. You need to be selfish



You can't pour from an empty cup

So be selfish, fill your cup first and then you can be selfless and pour into others.

6. The gym is preparation



In the gym, your mind is telling you to quit the whole time.

By not quitting, you're building your mental fortitude and resilience in preparation for life.

7. You can't stop learning



The moment you stop learning. you stop progressing.

Acquire new knowledge, learn new skills, apply, progress, repeat.

8. Not everyone wants you to win



Learn to recognize those that truly want the best for you and those who don't.

Cut the latter out.

9. Risk is a part of life



Whether you're taking a new job.

starting your own business or moving country

Anything that has the potential to improve your life involves risk

Embrace it.

10. Challenge your beliefs



Why do you believe something? Because your parents told you? Because the news told you?

Challenge what you believe, be willing to listen to opposing opinions and always be ready to learn.

11. Money can buy happiness



Money can buy you time freedom, location freedom and most importantly

The opportunity to do what actually makes you happy.

12. You need discomfort





Whether it's physical discomfort in the gym or mental discomfort when chasing your goals

Embracing discomfort is the key to long-term fulfilment.

13. Nobody knows what they're doing



No, really.

Nobody has it all figured out, everyone is just blindly taking a step in what is hopefully the right direction

14. Failure isn't final



Failure is nothing but a sign telling you which direction not to go

Stop treating it like a never-ending red light.

15. Consistency always wins



Talented but not consistent? You'll fail.

Hard-working but not consistent? You'll fail.

So long as you have consistency - you'll win (eventually)
