I turn thirty years old this coming Thursday. Being that I usally can be pensive about such milestones, I sat down and jotted down a few lessons learned in my first three decades. It's not that I think anyone really can learn from my own personal lessons, but I really like writing in this space. In fact, one of my goals for my next 30 years, is to get more time to do just that.
Lessons learned so far…
- Be yourself. Know yourself because...
- Self-awareness is irreplaceable.
- Friends are important. Family is MORE important and will always be there for you.
- Few things are more valuable than learning about and visiting new places.
- Love is grand.
- Arygle is badass.
- Patience IS a virtue.
- Stopping to smell the roses really can be nice…and healthy.
- Physical fitness is a must.
- That being said, bacon and cheese are the most delicious things in the world.
- Pride is good—to a certain extent.
- Having the ability to compromise is one of the most valuable skills to have in life.
- More reading encouraged…of actual books.
- I heart technology. And soccer.
