Top 5 Lessons I Learnt In My 20's

Episode #260 of the With Joe Wehbe Podcast

In today’s edition:

• The idea that got me chasing my mission some 20 years earlier than anticipated.

• Is there anything wrong with having ambition and aspiration? I found one thing to be more important.

Fact — 30 is old.

Right now, I’m 27 (and a half), and edging dangerously close to the end of youth, if not life as I know it.

In just two and a half years, I’ll be in a nursing home knitting all day long and going to bed at 8pm.

The clock is running. The crowd is desperately cheering…

Do something with your life Joe!

Do something with your life Joe!

I look up.

Rats. Is there still time to achieve anything in life?

I better…. reflect.

My top 5 lessons from my 20’s

1. Life is long. Short, but long — Examples of historic people who only got started late are shared in this week’s episode/video.

2. Appreciation > Aspiration — When I was 24, I read a book that motivated me to accelerate my midlife crisis.

3. The Minimum Viable Lifestyle — The idea that gave me the freedom to pursue what really mattered ~20 years earlier than expected.

4. Relationships are not your life. Relationships are just a part of life — Learning this was the single biggest struggle I had in my 20’s. I unpack the story in the video.

5. Concentrate on opening Doors for others — Whatever you want to get, first concentrate on giving it away — then you will receive it in abundance.

Enjoy this week’s video unpacking the above insights, and more from figures like Charlie Munger and Sadhguru.

Thanks for tuning in and remember…

There’s still time to learn.

Even for me, an ageing 27-and-a-half-year-old.
