I was today years old when I heard that if you don’t know what to pursue, start by pursuing yourself. Everything then will fall into place. What a perfect piece advice.

[SkylerVittorini]

This is priceless. 29 now, I’m climbing the right mountain. Thank you.

I once heard:
If you think the bill of growth is too high, wait for the bill of regret.

"be patient with the process and impatient with taking actions" astonishing

[Soberdogs]

Yes. I often feel I’m behind for losing years to addiction and prison but at anytime I can choose to get on board and start living. That was a changing moment in life

Picking the right partner is the biggest business decision you’ll ever make in your life time on earth.

I’m 31 and consider myself a late bloomer. I’m only now starting my undergrad journey in nursing after wasting away my twenties getting high and barely getting by. I still live with my parents. But not all is wasted. My twenties is an example of how not to live life. And I had to pay the price in time, something I’ll never get back. Get your head out of the sand and pursue life with a purpose. If you don’t know your purpose, take the time to figure that out but stay productive during that time. Eat well, sleep well, exercise, pray, and work.
