9) 31 Lessons On My 31st Birthday
This episode I go through 31 life lessons that have become clear to me over the course of my now 31 years on this planet
Everything is the same.
Health is non negotiable
Fitness is great for a variety of reasons. Looking a certain way is low on that list
Same can be said about nutrition
Doing the hard thing is always the right answer. I have yet to find a single example of where this is not the case
The older I get, the less I care about ‘having fun.’
Mindset matters, more than just about anything else
Time is to valuable to waste commuting. Move closer, or get a different job
After you have a roof over your head and food on the table, all money is wasted. What do you want to waste it on?
Be ruthless with your time. Say no to more things
Everything has an opportunity cost. Understand it, and calculate it
The stories we tell ourselves about our past, write our future. Be careful how you speak to yourself.
The internet is the most powerful tool of our generation.
You are totally, completely, 100% in control.
Less smart phones, more smart conversations
Food is so much more than just something we eat. It is a part of our families, our cultures, our religions.
Spending all of your time to make money that you then don’t have the time, or energy to spend, is not a worthwhile trade
Drink more water. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
If you aren’t actively planning ahead, you are actively doing harm to your future self
Every decision you make effects so many more people than just you. Remember that. Only thinking about yourself is selfish by definition.
Ive never finished a book, or a workout and regretted it
Invest in yourself. The best money you can spend is on courses, and teachers (this includes personal trainers and business/life coaches)
There is no right way. You have to figure it out yourself, but you can learn from the mistakes of others
It’s astonishing (and also sad) how much attention people pay to how they look, and little they pay to how they feel
That thing won’t make you happy. Whether it is money, a promotion, the girl, the abs, the number on the scale, or whatever else. It all starts from within.
Abs are overrated. So are biceps. And basically all vanity muscles
Lying to others is bad. Don’t do it. Lying to yourself is worse.
The most valuable skill in the world is being able to delay gratification. If you can do that, you win at life
People don’t value you, or your time if they aren’t paying for it
Yes it’s hard. Yes it sucks. You’ve still gotta do it anyway.
Read more books.
