I consume a lot of content and keep notes on things that strike me as important.
Here are 10 key takeaways from the last month.
You can simply refer to them as lessons on life:

You can simply refer to them as lessons on life:
🧵
1. You don’t get to be happy all the time.
You need to experience the bad days to appreciate the good days.
It’s a feature of life.

2. You can be anything you want but you can’t be everything you want.
The best people in the world have a singular focus & goal.
You can't be the best footballer in the world & the best pianist in the world.
You need to pick a priority & not spread yourself too thin.

3. It’s never too late.
If you are alive, you can get better.
We all wish we started earlier but don't dwell on it.
Look to improve yourself and become better every day.

4. You need to be able to admit that you were wrong.
Don’t get too attached to your opinions.
Change them when new knowledge comes to light.
There’s no shame in being wrong if you can admit it.

5. People are too hesitant to change.
If things are just about passable, you end up becoming comfortably numb.
You’d often be better off if the situation was worse as this would make you act.

6. Make yourself do things outside of your comfort zone.
You will grow as a person & feel proud of yourself.
Nothing great came from playing it safe.

7. Opportunities come to those who put themselves out there.
People often assume successful people got lucky.
As a wise man once said:
If your net isn’t in the water, you won’t catch a fish.

8. Jealously is a stupid emotion.
You might think you want someone's fame or skill. But do you also want their poor relationships or damaged childhood?
Maybe jealousy is a weakness on your part?
Use that feeling to become inspired.

9. Walk your own path.
People like to judge other people.
Don’t ever let someone else’s goals and dreams influence your vision of life.
It’s your path and you decide where it takes you and how long it takes you to see it through.

10. Make every moment count.
Life goes by faster than we think.
Live your life to its full extent because life is short and we never know what tomorrow brings.

Bonus. Not a lesson but an observation:
This is the first generation that has been worse off than it’s parents.
Is there something structurally wrong? Wages, property prices etc.
What needs to change to stop our kids being in an even worse position than us?

Slightly different content than usual but I think it's really interesting to have these sorts of conversations.
I'd love to hear any thoughts or your own personal experiences in the comments!
