I have learned a lot over the course of my young life and am grateful for every single lesson, regardless of the pain it manifested within.

My goal with this post is to share my perspective to help everybody, especially people in their 20’s, to become joyful, healthy, and inspired.

Let’s jump right in.

Lesson #1: Develop an athletic mindset, even if you don’t consider yourself an athlete.

I am a competitive soccer player. It is my preferred sport and muse and acts as the foundation of my personal development.

Maybe your thing is running, swimming, playing football, etc., but regardless, developing the mindset of a professional athlete is valuable.

There are many similarities between the athletic mindset and the entrepreneurial one. Responsibility, discipline, and being proactive are crucial life skills that one must develop to get the most out of themselves.

Lesson #2: Spend more time on meaningful activities, ones that inspire and make you want to pursue mastery.

Look at the people within your environment.
