Life on this world is precious, and short-lived.
I don’t want to sound morbid, but that’s the truth.
The ONLY thing we can do whilst we’re here is make the most of our opportunities and live a life without regrets.
You don’t want to be on your deathbed wishing you had done things a little differently.
Here are 25 things you can do to ensure that doesn’t happen:
- Never be too proud or ashamed to ask for help. Proud people fall behind.
- Don’t rush to do what everyone else around you is going.
- Follow your heart, even if it surprises people.
- Take advice from people who have been there and done it themselves.
- Always work on something on the side from your job or school.
- Realise that it’s not about the journey OR the destination, it’s about who you become on the journey.
- Show gratitude regularly to those around you who help you and who you care about.
- Always help those who are a few steps behind you, if you can.
- When you’re doing something, go ALL IN on it. Don’t half ass things.
- Do something every single day to care for your mind and body. They are your BEST assets.
- Realise that the only belief you need in life is that from yourself.
- Unapologetically be yourself. Even if others make fun of it.
- Be nice to others, until they give you a reason not to be.
- Always work towards something, no matter how small it may be.
- Recognise what distracts you from your goals, separate yourself from these things.
- Be proud of yourself and celebrate small wins.
- Be kind to yourself. You only make progress in life by feeling GOOD.
- Don’t tell everyone about your plans before you have acted. Let the results will do the talking.
- Give good sleep a high priority. It will change your life.
- Invest in yourself before investing in material things.
- Don’t feel sorry for yourself. There is someone who would kill to be in your position.
- Learn to live in the moment and appreciate everything. You will blink and be 80 wishing you had this time back.
- Spend at least 30 minutes out in nature a day, uninhibited by technology.
- Take notes of all the good advice you hear.
- Combine what you love doing with what the world needs. You’ll never ‘work’ a day in your life.

Your life is yours to live, no one else’s
Good luck to everyone out there on their self-improvement journey.
