29 Life Lessons on My 29th Birthday

Today I turn 29 years old. Still relatively young in ultimate lifespan, but enough to think that I’ve learned some things.

Every year on my birthday, I do two things. First, I write down all of my goals for the next year, a New Year’s Resolution of sorts. How can I improve or build upon the last year? What novel things can I expose myself to? The second thing I do is deposit all of the loose change I have collected over the past year to hopefully get an extra $50 bucks or so. Buy me a nice little treat, ya know?

But this year, I want to start a new tradition. Reflection is an important aspect of learning and growing as a person. Looking back, I have consumed so much in the form of books, podcasts, and more. Sometimes it’s hard to actually take a beat and truly sift through all of the information I try to jam into my head.

This year, I planned to take a week to reflect on those things and share them with you on my blog. I want to pass on the lessons I’ve learned in the last 12 months or so from various books and podcasts.

Throughout my 29 years on this planet, I have tried to apply these bits and pieces of knowledge into my life every day. I don’t always adhere to the rules, mantras, or whatever you want to call them — but these are the ones that have a certain stickiness to them. These are the ones I keep coming back to most when I’m lost. I hope you can take at least a couple of these valuable lessons I’ve learned myself…

’Til next year
