Podcast Summary:
It’s my birthday! Today I’ve been graced enough to turn 22. Thank you Jesus for not just allowing me to see another year but walk into this new age victorious. Life is surely a marathon and not a sprint. I still got a lot of miles ahead of me. But there is no harm in standing still to reflect on how far I’ve come and the lessons learnt along the way. Rather than listing my achievements and trials & tribulations, I will focus on the latter half reflecting on key lessons that have shaped me into the man I am today.
Twenty-two lessons I learnt on my 22nd birthday.
1) In all toil there is profit
2) Humility will take you far
3) Godliness with contentment is great gain
4) Mind the music you listen to
5) Choose peace
6) You can’t do everything
7) Do what you enjoy not what’s trending
8) Friends come and go
11) Social media is not real life
12) The world is broken (do good, love)
13) You will make mistakes, forgive yourself
14) Laughter is good for the soul
15) Only by prayer & fasting will some problems be resolved
16) Community and counsel are key
17) You can’t buy honour, you earn it
18) Patience is key
19) Learn how to execute
20) Your health should be the priority
21) Respect the process
22) Stay in the right lane
