10 lessons for my birthday

It's my 26th birthday! 🥳

This year has been the craziest and most fulfilling year of my life.

- I quit my job
- Now live in Bangkok
- Launched my own app
- Learned a new language
- Finally invested in therapy
- Lived in Vietnam for 6 months
- Made the most incredible friends

So here are my top 10 lessons I've learned this year:

1. Be exactly who you want to be online, unapologetically. You never know who you're inspiring and who you'll meet as a result.

2. Anxiety comes from too much thinking and not enough doing.

3. Of all the investments you could make, investing in yourself will have the highest ROI.

4. Don't accidentally spend your entire existence “preparing” for the next phase of your life.

5. Knowing what you're bad at is just as important as knowing what you're good at.

6. Keep some projects and passion projects that don't need to succeed.

7. Always find the fun.

8. You don't have to choose one lifestyle. You are allowed to choose all the best parts of every lifestyle.

9. The people around you will make or break you.

10. Give your attention to the things that can't be taken away (who you are or how you act) instead of the things that can (a car or an apartment).
