So first real tweet here so I thought a lot about what to say. And the biggest lesson I've learned in my life so far is this: Happiness is hard work. Maybe that seems obvious to some but it wasn't to me - not for a long time. It is so much easier to complain be miserable. (1/5)
You know what bothers me? That products are labeled "organic" or "non GMO". Real, natural, not genetically modified food should be the NORM. The other products should be forced to put giant warnings on their products and describe what is added or how their product is modified.
Not many things more annoying than a person who complains that they're "stuck" in a miserable job and then that same person tells you about all the shows they're watching or all the golf they're playing etc...
@AdultingIsEasy Oh yeah. I agree with you. Just asking for a book recommendation and stopping there is not even lazy. It's something sub-lazy. It needs a new word.
Be present. Stop snapping pics/vids of everything. Stop comparing the past or other people's experiences to your present. Avoid regret or hoping things were different. Do all this and you will find yourself MUCH happier.
Health scares always put things in perspective.
1. Take care of yourself. Eat better. Exercise more
2. Spend time with loved ones. Let them know how much they mean.
3. Don't stress too much. Easier said than done so get into meditating.
4. Stop waiting. Act now!
If you're not strength training - get started now! Before getting to weights - start with bodyweight exercises for a couple of weeks. Push-ups (do various kinds), pull-ups, squats, lunges, planks, supine rows, etc...
I don't know if it's hormones or what but it takes people WAAAAY too long to not care about what other people think or say. The earlier you can ignore the trolls and doubters and haters - the happier you will be. It is such a freeing, refreshing feeling.
I hear people (parents, coaches, teachers, bosses, etc) say "you made a mistake - move on". I understand what they are trying do but everyone should be saying "you made a mistake - what did you learn from it?"
According to Next Gen Personal Finance, 25 states and the District of Columbia have introduced bills proposing personal finance education in public schools in 2021.
This is a great sign for the future of financial literacy in the United States.
I am astounded by the amount of people that complain to every person that feigns interest in them about how they are so stressed, they have no time. etc...same people at the bar for 4 hours or binging 3 seasons of a show in a weekend. If you're reading this- you have the time!
