My take for 20 somethings :ufdup:
1. Make rules for yourself and write them down if need be. Occasionally review them and make necessary changes.

2. Understand the notion that goals are completed through discipline and consistency.

3. Get your education, certification, etc. Don't let making a check today interfere with your goals for tomorrow.

4. As for work, understand "relationships" will get you promoted faster than hard work. Something I learned the hard way.

5 As for relationships, having the hard conversations will pay dividends down the road even if the relationship doesn't work.

6. Understand attracting a mate is a skill and so is sustaining a relationship.

7. Again relationship. You may experience the cheapest dates in the beginning may lead to better outcomes. A walk in the park, picnic, museum, biking, etc.

8. Look for a woman who doesn't require constant validation from social media and people outside the relationship.

9. Budget your money and that includes budgeting your bullshyt spending.

10. Get in the habit of reading.


30 somethings

1. Everything above still applies.

2. Don't think you are too old to go back to school or get a certification.

3. Even if the title isn't a mentor, have people you can talk to about careers, relationships, etc. I know some may find this difficult if your father wasn't around but think of the benefits you can receive. You are at an age where you know you don’t know everything.

4. Bad things may happen which may not have been your fault but you are responsible for dealing and hopefully coping with it in a healthy manner.

5. Drop the pride and talk to a therapist if needed. If you do, don't bullshyt their recommendations and do the work.


Come on old heads, drop some advice the youth can use.

1. Start acting like the person you want to be because this old quote is true:

Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

2. Save 20 cents for every dollar you make. Just take it right out of your check like it’s another bill and don’t touch it.

3. Try something different every day or at least every week. It can be small like a new item on a menu or game but learning new things is good for your brain and it prevents dementia later

4. Love yourself. How do you talk to yourself? Try to work on your self talk and learn to be your own hype man/woman.

5. Be of service to others. The universe will provide you more so you can provide more for others. Karma is real.

If you party and bullshyt with more than 10% of your time you’re fukking up.

Keep God first

Stay committed to your loved one

Save

Invest

Save

Stop buying unnecessary stuff

Use common sense - don’t live life led by emotion
