38 life lessons from 38 trips around the sun π
Feb 06, 2026
As I sit here on my 38th Birthday, I'd like to share with you 38 Life Lessons I've gleaned from my 38 spins around the sunβοΈ...
1. LIFE IS SHORT
Time flies by faster with every passing year. Prioritizing what matters most is key. Don’t hold back, chase your dreams; in 100 years you’ll be dead whether you went after them or not, so you may as well do it.
2. FEAR IS BULLSHIT
Fear is the biggest dream killer, not failure. Failure helps and learn and grow. Just do it, chase the dream, do the things that light your soul on fire!
3. FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION
Your intuition is the most powerful tool you’ve got. Listen to it.
4. FORGIVENESS IS FREEDOM
Inevitably people and circumstances will arise in life that will challenge and test us. But holding a grudge, anger, resentment, etc. about those people and things, only weighs us down. Let it go so you can be free to fly high.
5. WE'RE INFINITE AND ETERNAL
You’re a soul temporarily in a body with a mind, not a body with a mind and soul. You always were and always will be. Even death is nothing to fear.
6. BOUNDARIES ARE NECESSARY
Protect your peace. It’s the only way to thrive.
7. FILL YOUR CUP FIRST
You can’t pour from an empty cup; it’s not selfish to make you the #1 priority in you own life. When you’re nurtured than you have the ability to give to others.
8. LEAD WITH LOVE
Love is the frequency of creation. Strength doesn’t come from destruction, but from creation. Forgive, be compassionate, and make decisions based from love; even and especially when it’d be easier not to.
9. DO SOMETHING THAT BRINGS YOU JOY EVERY DAY
None of us know how long we have in this life; make sure to sprinkle some magic into everyday, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
10. YOUR OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT ULTIMATELY MATTERS
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and most of them STINK. Only give weight to the opinions of those you respect, and always trust your opinion above all others.
11. WHO YOU'RE AROUND AFFECTS YOU MORE THAN YOU THINK
The people we spend the most time with rub off on us; make sure you’re intentionally choosing your tribe.
12. GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS UNRESERVEDLY
Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, doesn’t matter, you in this specific form, with these specific desires and goals, is a unique one-time experience. Don’t hold back, go all-in.
13. ACT NOW
Tomorrow and yesterday don’t exist on any calendar. You can only take action in the present moment. Stop waiting and start doing.
14. HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB
No level of wealth or success can make you happy. Happiness is internal. Cultivate it now.
15. CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Consistency is the key to success; your small daily habits create the results for your entire life.
16. YOUR PATH IS YOUR PATH
You’re not hear to walk someone else’s footsteps; your path is yours alone. Don’t be afraid to innovate.
17. DON'T TAKE SHIT SO SERIOUSLY
Only your opinion about what happens in life gives in context and meaning. Nothings that serious in the end; laugh and let go more.
18. LAUGH AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN
Laughter is the best medicine, use it daily.
19. ACT ON OPPORTUNITIES
The world belongs to the action takers; you’ll be afraid, that’s ok, say yes anyway.
20. MIND YOUR MIND
Your mind is the most powerful tool at your disposal, just don’t let it steer the wheel. If you don’t control your mind it will control you.
21. SELF-MASTERY EQUALS LIFE-MASTERY
You are the cause of everything in your life. Master yourself and there’s nothing you cannot be, do, or have.
22. YOUR DESTINY IS YOUR DESTINATION
Your goals, what you’re moving towards, that IS destination which makes it your destiny. What are you moving towards?
23. GRATITUDE IS LIFE
Gratitude is the sweetness of life. Letting the judgements all go and recognizing what a miracle this whole “being alive” thing is!
24. PERSPECTIVE MATTERS
Truth is subjective; you can change how you feel by changing your perspective about any situation.
25. PRACTICE DETACHMENT
Take a birds eye view on life daily to see things for what they really are, without the emotion. It will allow you to see things more clearly.
26. RECOGNIZE EGO VS. SPIRIT
Ego typically acts out of fear, spirit desires expansion.
27. NEVER STOP LEARNING
Commit to being a life long student; there’s more to learn than you possibly could in 1000 lifetimes.
28. TAKE FREQUENT LEAPS OF FAITH
The best things in life happen when we leap before we can see the net that will catch us.
29. PRACTICE PRESENCE
Be here. Right here. Right now. In this moment. Do it as often as you can.
30. FUCK TOXIC POSITIVITY; YOUR FEELINGS ARE ALL VALID
You’re a complex human having a human experience, and your emotions are all valid and relevant. They give context and meaning to your life. Duality allows us to appreciate the good ones and take heed of the message and lesson during the bad ones.
31. CELEBRATE YOUR HUMANITY
The human experience is a fascinating one. Enjoy it. You’re not meant to be perfect.
32. BLOCK/MUTE/IGNORE AS OFTEN AS YOU NEED
Protect your peace.
33. LISTEN TO YOUR SOUL
Your soul will always know the best path for your highest good. Listen when it offers to guide.
34. CONNECT
Connect with people, nature, your passions; connect with as much as you can to expand your experiences.
35. ENGRAVE MEMORIES
When you're having a wonderful time, pause, and study the detail of the moment for one minute, to solidify and engrave that memory in your mind so you can carry it with you always.
36.LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Love as much and as often as you can.
37. TAKE BREAKS AND LIVE IN AWE
This life is miraculous. Every bit of it. If we lose sight of just how magnificent a sunset or sunrise is, we need to slow down, and remind ourselves we live on a rock hurtling through space, and yet beauty is all around us and we're all here. Holy-fuckig-wow.
38. YOU’RE WORTHY AS YOU ARE
You're worthy of love. You're worthy of peace. You're worthy of joy. You're worthy of abundance. You're worthy just because you are. Be kinder to yourself π
