77 Micro Habits to Chan 25 Life Hacks I Wish I’d Known Sooner
The biggest thing I’ve learned in life is that the younger version of me wasn’t nearly as smart as he thought he was.

If I could go back in time and give some wisdom to my younger self, here’s what I would say: 1: Rejection can be tremendously empowering. Lots of rejections make you unstoppable, so go seek out rejection 2: People who disrespect service workers have no place in my life. Want to test someone? Take them out to lunch and instruct the waiter to make a mistake. See how they react and you’ll see what kind of person they are. 3: Forget lottery thinking and just do the work. 4: A salary is a drug and your own business is freedom. 5: Busyness and work are not the same. Choose 2 or 3 big goals and forget everything else.
“The greatest enemy of good thinking is busyness.” ― John C. Maxwell 6: Success can destroy you if you forget to stay humble. The people you mistreat on the way up will rightfully step on you when you fall back down. 7: Don’t compare yourself to others. Do compare yourself to how you were a year ago. Have you made progress or not? 8: Adversity is how you grow. Take risks and push your own limits. 9: Forget trying to be normal. The world wants you to fit in, blend in and be a sheep. People will judge you. Let them. Be your own extraordinary self. 10: There is a cost to everything. For example, if you make videos on YouTube, some people will hate your videos. Don’t waste time or energy thinking about it, just keep moving forward.
“The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, but I’m just going to shake, shake, shake. Shake it off, shake it off.” – Taylor Swift 11: Friends who show up during your darkest hours are your real friends. Everyone else is just a pretend friend. 12: Show emotion. No one responds to a cardboard cutout. Showing emotion doesn’t make you weak, it makes you memorable, relatable, interesting and human. 13: Me-me-me is a no-no. Spend too much time thinking about yourself and you’ll destroy your life. 14: Forget business conversations and have personal conversations to build business relationships.
