Lessons ive learned in 2017. A thread:

If you have difficulty starting something, do it badly.

The more you understand about yourself the more patient you are with everyone else.

Not everyone is going to get it. However, that doesnt mean they never will.

If you chase happiness you'll always be chasing.

Choose people in your life to help guide you to the next level. There's nothing with taking the backseat to let someone else drive if they know the way.

Be skeptical, not cynical.

When you see someone's stupidity/ignorance/lack of knowledge as a disability, it makes interacting with them much easier.

Equip yourself with the tools to articulate yourself properly. Especially in the social media era.

There's more to life than love.

If someone cant articulate themselves as well as you can, take time to help them say what they mean. Especially if you disagree with them. The worst thing you can do is win an argument but be wrong.

Be wary of people that will abandon ship at the first sign of rough sea.

Keep close to people that see the world differently to you.

Dont be afraid to talk about what bothers you. If it's mentionable, it's manageable.

Talk to yourself the way you would like people to speak to you.

Appoint people to be your eyes on the outside looking in on your life and the decisions you make. They dont have to be family to you nor a friend.

Learn how to negotiate with your partner.

The most successful people can give the worst advice.

People are better at handling failure than they are at handling success.
