I decided to make less money as a teenager. Here’s why you should too.

Interestingly, the most valuable lessons didn't come from my classes. They came from the moments I took to deeply reflect. 🤝 Sadly, this is the only picture I have of me in my dorm. Not exactly the professional picture I was looking for, but oh well.

10) This is your life. Do what you want. No one else has to live with your choices but you.

9) Step away from what doesn't feel right. No one will judge you for it - it's all in your head.

8) You have a force within you - like the energy that keeps your heart beating and your body alive. You can’t see it, but when you feel it, you’ll realize you have everything you need to accomplish anything.

7) Learning from other people is incredible, but real growth happens through experience and action.

6) Judgement comes from ignorance. If you had lived someone else’s exact life, gone through all the same experiences and faced all the same struggles, you’d act the same way they do.

5) Gossip is poison. What you say about others says more about you.

4) Ego is like money - impactful when used right. If your ego’s inflated, share the wealth. Use it to make others feel amazing.

3) If little things stress you out, remind yourself that you were born with nothing and die with nothing.

2) The most important skill is learning to reflect deeply every day - it gives meaning to everything else.

1) The 2nd most important skill to master in a fast-paced environment is discipline.

Do what you like. Screw societal norms and age restrictions. Start a business at 80, start knitting at 20. As long as you enjoy it, nothing else matters 🫡

Love is the death of duty

Recipe for success? Drop your ego. It’ll tear you down faster than you can build yourself.

Men weren't made to spend 8 hours a day on their phone. Just saying.
