With the year coming to an end, I reflect on the months that have passed. This year, I spiced things up and looked back on my entire life and what is has taught me:

  1. There is no failure; only feedback
  2. Don’t be a c#nt
  3. Life is chaos
  4. Accept what you cannot control
  5. Change what you can change
  6. Creamy Double Espresso
  7. Work hard. Rest harder
  8. Success is hard work, you have to earn it.
  9. Forgive your parents, they didn’t know any better
  10. “What are you afraid of?”
  11. Embrace life with“F#ck it”
  12. Live in the NOW!
  13. Whatever you do, do it 100%
  14. Smile. Every. Day.
  15. We all have traumas — yours isn’t special
  16. Remember where you come from
  17. Cold showers are a blessing.
  18. Heal yourself first.
  19. Go for long walks
  20. Eat whole-foods and stay fit
  21. Call your parents
  22. Say no to the right people
  23. Have a big, fat goal
  24. Share your love
  25. Check in on your mates
  26. Love the journey, not the goal
