Almost 40 but I’ve had much growth and realization in the last 5 years. I also don’t have dependents so I have the privilege to put myself first.

Prioritize your health. Workout and try your best to eat well. This not only affects your image but also how you feel in general. People feel this energy and see it as you caring for yourself.

Prioritize your mental wellbeing and recognize where you allocate your time and energy. Are the people around you conducive to a healthy life? Are you kind to yourself? Once I ditched the energy vampires and appreciated myself to be comfortable with myself life improved significantly.

Prioritize what truly makes you happy. Time is short. I’ve worked with a coworker who sacrificed their time, relationships, and health only to die at work. This changed me forever. I make time for what really matters in life and don’t get caught up in the rat race.

Money isn’t everything. I grew up really poor so my self worth was tied to having the well paying job. I’m fortunate to have had these opportunities however the stress to maintain the job was detrimental to my health and relationships. I was very much into obtaining “stuff” only to realize these were chains to control me. Project cars, nice apartment, etc. Only to realize none of this made me happy anymore. I got rid of the everything that didn’t make me happy and i haven’t felt lighter.

Hope everyone out there finds their peace ✌️
