2016 Lessons Learned

[MetalGear]

Some things I learned over the past year:

1. Let go of friends and relatives that hold you back
   1. Avoid family and friends with discouraging remarks
   2. Being close to people doesn’t mean hanging out with them every weekend
2. Be vigilant, culture sometimes venerates being poor
   1. Avoid the energy and enthusiasm vampires, overlaps with point 1
   2. "I will pray for 20 hours and work for 4", procrastination
   3. "I am waiting for a sign...", indecisiveness
3. Develop a discrete process and timeline for your goals
4. Program as much of a routine as possible
   1. Master your calendar, learn to say no or later, create a meal plan
   2. Avoid paralysis of analysis by just going for it
5. Time wasters
   1. Politics: just no, a complete mental and emotional drain (media does this on purpose)
   2. Facebook: mostly useless
6. The Fastlane Forum is the closest thing to the fountain of life on this earth
   1. Good job MJ (no he is not paying me, but he could if he wants J)
7. Hell yes or hell no?
   1. If not hell yes, then hell no.
8. I want to live a full life.
   1. I don’t want to wait until I’m physically falling apart to have money to enjoy.
9. Health - make it a priority, workout 3x a week
10. 2017 Theme
    1. Equanimity
    2. Decisiveness
    3. Less clutter
