I “didnt have time” or even make sense of these types of videos when I was 20. Just pretty much improvised the whole way. My 20s flew by and I feel I only lived 1/3 of it. I’m 29 now and will be entering my 30s this year. This video feels like my second chance in life. I feel like I have all the engredients (money, time, health) all I need is the recipe (my direction, purpose, goal). Every new idea, way of thinking, experience, wisdom helps so thank you. I feel your advice really resonated with me.
