Helping you leverage your unique skills for career success
About this episode

Today, I am celebrating my 29th birthday. This time of the year is always a reflection for me on what has happened and what is to come. 

To celebrate, I want to share 29 life lessons I try to live by with you. I hope they help you in your journey as well. 

* Be kind to yourself. You are your worst critic, so be gentle and forgive yourself for your mistakes.

* Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is on their own path, so focus on your goals and don't worry about what others do.

* Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're struggling, don't be afraid to contact friends, family, or professionals for help.

* Take care of your health. Eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.

* Spend time with loved ones. Make time for the people who matter most to you.

* Do things that make you happy. Make time for activities that you enjoy and that make you feel good.

* Learn new things. Challenge yourself to learn new things and expand your horizons.

* Travel the world. See new places and experience different cultures.

* Be grateful. Take time each day to appreciate the good things in your life.

* Live in the present moment. Don't dwell on the past or worry about the future. Focus on the present moment and enjoy it.

* Be positive. A positive attitude will help you attract positive experiences into your life.

* Believe in yourself. You are capable of anything you set your mind to.

* Don't give up on your dreams. Keep working hard, and never give up on your dreams.

* Follow your heart. Do more of what makes you happy, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

* Be true to yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Be yourself and be proud of it.

* Don't be afraid to take risks. Life is too short to play it safe. Take risks and step outside of your comfort zone.

* Don't be afraid to fail. Failure is a part of life. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.

* Be open to change. The world is constantly changing, so be open to new experiences and ways of thinking.

* Be patient. Good things come to those who wait. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.

* Be persistent. Don't give up on your dreams, no matter how hard things get. Keep working hard and never give up.

* Be grateful for what you have. There are always people who have less than you do. Be grateful for the things you have, no matter how big or small.

* Be kind to others. Kindness is contagious. Be kind to others, and you'll improve the world.

* Be forgiving. Everyone makes mistakes. Learn to forgive others and yourself.

* Be honest. Honesty is the best policy. Be honest with yourself and with others.

* Be fair. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

* Be responsible. Take responsibility for your actions. Don't blame others for your mistakes.

* Be courageous. Courage is the strength to do what you know is right, even when difficult.

* Be humble. Don't think you're better than anyone else. Be humble and be willing to learn from others.

* Use your skills to make a difference. As an engineer, you have the skills to make a real difference in the world.

I hope you take some time to reflect on these lessons. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey with Engineering our Future. It has been an amazing 3 years, and I continue to be amazed by the support I have received.
