 22 Tips of One-Line Advice for 2022

3 minute summary of my 45 years of life

 

No matter who you are or where you live, the last two years have been a bit if an anomaly that none of us was prepared for.

It just seems like the anomaly is probably a norm. Yet, such black swan events aside, some life lessons stand the test of time and circumstances and work for nearly everyone. Let’s dive straight into them.

1.       If you are to procrastinate, procrastinate on worrying, push it by just one more day, every day.

2.       Stop saving and planning only for retirement. 60-year-old you will be OK if 30-year old you learned to live a little.

3.       Financial independence doesn’t come from a big bank account, it comes from learning to live the way you can afford.

4.       If someone else’s path to success was so easy for you to take, they would never show you the map.

5.       No two people are a perfect match, we are all like different chemical elements — there are multiple compounds waiting to be formed, some stable, yet others explosive.

6.       Life is a zero-sum game — if each one of us is only willing to receive, who then will be the giver?

7.       Stop rushing towards every checkpoint so you can beat the person in front of you — this is a marathon, and the only award is a finisher’s medal, you’d rather enjoy the ride than die running too fast.

8.       Money is always a means to an end, the moment you make it the goal, it will be your end.

9.       If you think you’ve found true love, don’t be afraid to make changes and adjustments, evolving together isn’t always changing who you are.

10.   There is hardly ever a right or a wrong, all there is are different perspectives.

11.   If you only had a day to recharge, grab the people you love the most, leave behind all distractions (read technology) and head to a secluded outdoor place, and master the art of doing nothing.

12.   You’re never content not because you don’t have enough, but because someone you know has more.

13.   There is never a bad time to learn something new.

14.   Holding a grudge does nothing to the other person, but it takes up valuable space in your own mind and is also the worst tenant you can have.

15.   When you see someone that needs help, just go ahead and do what you can, don’t look around to see if someone else will.

16.   Practice the art of listening to people, it ensures that when you speak, others will find you worth listening to.

17.   Don’t be the one who is always pointing to problems, be the one who always has a solution to offer.

18.   Make a list of family and friends that mean the most to you, and pick one to connect with ever so frequently.

19.   Make a list of people you dislike the most or who dislike you the most and challenge yourself to find a way to strike them off the list.

20.   For every thank you that you say make sure you get one in return — when you receive kindness, make sure you pay it forward.

21.   Life will keep a good score of all the problems you have, try focusing on counting your blessings instead.

22.   The virus may or may not kill you, but something eventually will — make sure you don’t waste all your time on guessing what will.
