Top 10 Lessons of 2019

2019 has been an unexpected year of change and personal growth. Here are ten lessons I’ve learned:

1. When making decisions, give audience to the opinion of others, but always trust your gut.

2. It’s ok to pursue solitude. Solitude is not the same as isolation. Solitude is about recharging, isolation is about retreating.

3. Invest in your personal growth. There is always a return.

4. Focus on what’s within your control. Everything else is a distraction.

5. When pressed, people will default to self-interest. Don’t take it personal.

6. Spend time outdoors. The greatest lessons of life can be learned through nature.

7. Be open to the possibility that you could be wrong - chances are, you are.

8. Build bridges, don’t burn them.

9. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” - John Maxwell

10. Take responsibility for your choices, not the choices of others.
