1. Self-awareness is the number one skill you need to develop
This provides both the direction and motivation to make the changes required to improve
The quicker you can grasp a strong understanding of where you are in reality, the better your life will become

2. Nobody cares about how much of a "nice" person you are
The best way to do good is to do well first and lead with value
The more excellent you are, the more people you can affect, and the more good you can do in the world

3. Compassion is king
You never know what someone else has gone through and why they act the way they do
Showing people you care will bring down their defense barrier and make it easier for you to connect with them
It's always cool to be kind

4. Spend more time with your parents
As I've got older, I've seen my Mum and Dad get older and this is an indicator I need to spend more time with them
Whatever your relationship with them, call them, tell them you love them, and take care of them
You'll appreciate it so much

5. You're not a kid anymore
Being closer to 30 than you are 20, makes you realize you are fully an adult now
You can't get away with the behaviors of your early 20s anymore
Be independent, get your finances sorted, and be 100% responsible for everything that happens to you

6. Your body opens doors, your social skills keep you there
Having a great physique will provide you more chances with girls, job interviews, and making more friends
Having great people skills will help you maintain these relationships and build a network/career you're proud of

7. Lifting weights is the gateway drug to self-improvement
Nobody has ever regretted weight training
What it does to your body is good, however, what it does for your mental and emotional state is truly transformative
Lift 3-5 days per week if you want to become your best self

8. The best revenge is leveling up
As you get older and do new things, people will resent you for it
They don't want to see you change and many of them will want to see you fail
Don't react, entertain it, or explain yourself
Channel every ounce of your energy to become better

9. Everyone is doing the best with what they can
When you see people act out or in a way that you disagree with
Remember that they are just operating off of the information they've been given at the time
Don't hate
Show empathy & help them understand where they can get better

10. Life is amazing & it's always the beginning
I truly believe the best days of your life are ahead of you and
There will be times you experience where you fall in love with being alive
Cherish these moments, stay present, and fucking smile
Life is here to be enjoyed
