15 Essential Lessons of 2023 Worth Sharing

→ Know what you want for yourself, and be true to that. Otherwise you'll see things happen to others and suddenly you're envious/jealous of them for something you didn't even want for yourself in the first place.

→ Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's either you got into discomfort willingly or discomfort will come to you, either way no escape.

→ There are many future versions of yourself that exist based upon the decisions you make currently.

→ It's easy to end up average if you're interested and distracted by everything, and never commit to anything. Years pass, and you do a lot of things but never stick to any of them long enough to get rewarded.

→ If you want growth, you must prepare to be bored, doubted, failed, rejected and challenged. Learn to handle them.

→ You need 3 daily wins: mental win (create, learn), physical win (running, gym) and financial win.

→ A person who conquers the fear of embarrassment becomes unstoppable.

→ There's no competition if you're confident in who you are.

→ Hardwork improves your optimism, and being truthful boosts your confidence.

→ The longer you stay consistent, the more fine-tuned your skill becomes.

→ Go broke learning, investing, building, creating or launching, not shopping.

→ Doesn't matter how you start, just start.

→ Give whatever you do your best, but discard expectations.

→ Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

→ Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
