Life, Personal Growth, Entrepreneurship with Joe De Sena

Humans adapt and thrive when they are put in precarious situations. Hence, growth is pivotal in every aspect of living. Whether it’s to understand and appreciate the blessings of life, money, and opportunities, humans are not strangers to the intricacies of living in the modern world. With technology speeding up the human evolution process, even kids have an inkling of what is happening. Ignorance becomes not a matter of how but when—as information is now accessible at our fingertips.

Joe De Sena shares his life experiences, lessons, and advice to future leaders. Teenage life is simply the gateway to adulthood. As they learn the reality that living is not as easy as it is, it is up to them whether they will grow as a person or stay within the confines of their imagination. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more!

Quotes:

“Maturity is the ability to accept a person’s circumstance, whether favorable or not. An immature person would complain about their situation, whereas a mature person would endure and strive that things will soon pass.” – Joe De Sena

“Until you understand the link between responsibility and freedom, whatever age you are at, young or old, entitlement will always creep in, and it is the most damaging thing that can happen to a human being.” – Matt Beaudreau

“In my experience, there are two things that are grievous for young people to overcome; when they literally have nothing and when they can have everything.” – Matt Beaudreau

Takeaways:

Maturity, as a concept, should be introduced as early as possible. The earlier a person understands the link between responsibility and freedom, the more mature they become when they grow into adulthood.

Being at either of the extremes, having everything or nothing, is detrimental to personal growth. People who can wish for anything that can be easily granted will have a hard time accepting the reality of life. The same goes for people who can’t get anything easily unless they toil for it.

Commitment should be done fully and should not be thought of haphazardly. With the abundance of distractions surrounding us, young people should strive to be resilient.

Conclusion:

Young people must enjoy their teenage life, but taking lessons from bitter challenges is just as important. Let others see that not all young people are impulsive. Making mistakes is normal but always remember to learn from them, adapt, and see the reality that the world is not as simple as it seems.
