and have you sitting on the couch on a friday night listening to Wilco on the record player, eating leftovers & drinking a big glass of pinot noir.
Well thats exactly what I am doing right now.
Because without constant growth & learning – without the screw ups and the successes – you’re just spinning your wheels. You’re back to wearing floaties & accepting wherever the tide takes you.
- Never (ever) forget your roots. A lot of things have happened and a lot more is going to happen. 2010 was a testament to realizing just how much life can change, for the better. Through all the successes and failures, never forget where you started, before this all began, before you knew what you wanted to do, before you were able to call yourself succesful – and don’t take a single moment for granted. Thank everyone who helps you along the way, extend gratitude to every person that places their trust in you, and stay humble.
- Keep learning. You probably think you know it all – you have positioned yourself as an expert – but don’t let it get to your head. You don’t know it all, in fact, you don’t know much about most. Don’t ever stop learning – keep asking questions – keep challenging yourself to try new things and keep taking steps outside of your own comfort zone. It’ll get you far, and it’s the only way you’ll end up like, well, you…5 years from now.
- Focus: You’re an idea-crazy person. You have a million different things going through your head all the time and it’s hard to decide which ones to pursue, and which ones to put aside. My biggest message to you is to focus – focus on what you want to be doing, focus on what your best at, and don’t spend too much time on the other things that stand in your way of being excellent at your greatest strengths.
- Travel often. You’ve created a life for yourself that allows you a certain level of freedom. Use it to your advantage.
