Yay!😎- I turn 23 today. I’ve been doing some reflection and listed 23 things I have learned (still learning) over the past years.

2023, the Jordan year.

1. Stay hungry

   To maintain your zest for life, it's important to stay Hungry.

   Note that, this does not imply that you starve yourself. I'm saying, don't get complacent.

   A typical example:

   You've been working all day and you feel so hungry. That hunger in you fuels your energy to find food as fast as you can.

   Now, let's say you get the food and because you feel “so” hungry, you overeat.

   If you're being honest, you'll agree with me that instead of feeling satisfied, you feel weak.

   I have experienced this a couple of times.

   What I've learned from this is that when you're hungry, eat just the right amount to satisfy your hunger, but don't take too much.

   Taking too much makes you lackadaisical.

   Maintain your zest for life, and stay hungry.

2. Be Consistent

   If I could go back in time, one thing I will do is to be consistent in what I do.

   Although, I have started being consistent. I'd always recommend that if you want to see progress in whatever you do, please be consistent. Show up every day.

3. Pray and Trust in God

   There's a verse in the Bible that always stands out for me - Proverbs 3:5-6: "Commit your ways to God and he'll direct your path."

4. Stop bad habits - see your life become better

   In a way, we all know what we should stop, start and keep on doing.

5. Live changes very quickly, in a very positive way, if you let it

6. Use what you have to get to what you need and get where you want to be

7. Have a heart of gratitude - feel being grateful

8. Give - value, service, share

9. Do Legacy work

19. Family - Friends - Family - we all come from family, along the way we make friends, and with some of those friends, we create families. Choose your friends. Take care of yourself, provide for and protect your family.
