And just like that, 25 years around the sun! It’s crazy. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s this secret delusion that we’ll be young forever. NOPE. And that’s the first lesson of many: ——— - Each second you spend dwelling on the past is an ounce of energy you can use to build your future. - Just because you’re you doesn’t mean you know who you are. - Creativity, as magical as it is, is also often mundane and bothersome. Half of the battle with creativity is FORCING it, not waiting for inspiration to strike. - Opportunity will come whether or not you’re ready. - If you don’t stand for anything, you aren’t standing at all, and people will RUN over you. - Don’t major in minors. Needle-moving actions only. - Stop letting people discourage you because you’re young. - Ignore the advice of those you wouldn’t trade places with. - Never keep the good ideas in your head. - Rejection is cool, but I suggest you secretly take things personally. MJ did. - There is such a thing as a healthy obsession. Countless people will tell you to slow down when you haven’t done enough. - Burnout will uproot any momentum you’ve built. - Knowledge without action is just as useless as having no knowledge at all. - Are you content being someone else’s fan? - There’s nothing wrong with social media being the “highlight reel” of your life, especially if that’s the only time you take to cherish what’s going WELL in your life. - BIG dreams only. - Artists: It’s going to take more than the art itself. Don’t neglect promoting/marketing yourself, building/nurturing relationships, and shipping your work. - The best way to learn is to throw yourself into the fire before you’ve determined how hot it is. Embrace the edge as the only way forward. - Family is important. Marriage is WORTH IT. - The only downside is to not see the upside. - The thing you’re doing now almost certainly ISN’T what you’ll be doing for the rest of your life. To get to THE thing, you may have to go through several. - What if you stopped caring whether it was going to work out for you and did it anyway?
