Things you should know early

At 26 I had a closed mind, eating disorder, and
thought I was smarter than Einstein. At 36 I've
come a long way. Some of the best lessons we
can share come from the advice we'd give our
younger selves.
Here are my cheat codes for life at 36. Use
them to upgrade your life.
1. When you get lots of rejections you
stop fearing it. This makes you
unstoppable.
Seek out rejection.
Measure your life based on how many recent
rejections you got. Let the pain light you up,
not descend you into darkness. Rejection
means you're having a crack and that's better
than what 99% of people do.
2. Busyness is a sign of poverty that will
eventually lead to personal bankruptcy.
If you say I'm busy a lot it's a red flag.
Stop being so freaking busy. Prioritize 2-3
goals and ditch the rest. Focus is what removes
hocus pocus BS tasks from your life.
3. The world wants you to be normal.
F*ck being normal. That's when being
extraordinary becomes impossible.
Normality is a disease.
If we all blend in and do as we're told we live
in a society of sheep, where everyone drinks
vanilla-flavored milk and says grace at dinner.
Being like everybody else is what makes you
feel empty and as if something is missing.
What's missing is being who you want despite
judgment. People will judge. Let them.
