I was hanging out with four of the coolest Millennials last night and they let me share some of my best work and life advice for them. So, as the news of declining pandemic deaths continues, there is the desire for many to let go of what is unneeded and live boldly and fully into the present and future. COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted and it's summertime. It's a new normal and hopefully we have all learned some valuable lessons for life going forward. As such, I wanted to share 10 ideas for Millennials (and others) who may be looking for simple, yet helpful suggestions for daily life and work:
1. Put God first.
2. Don't worry about what others are doing. Keep your eyes on yourself and your goals and your life. Don't worry about what others may or may not be doing.
3. Learn about your gifts, DNA, makeup, and personality. They will help you find your passion. Work will be a joy when it is matched with passion and giftedness.
4. Never forget your family. You need them and they need you.
5. Be humble.
6. When fishing, don't use shad to catch bream. Life requires the right tackle, fishing spot, time of day, tide, and moon phase.
7. Be true to yourself.
8. Live within your means and your income.
9. Seek professional counsel when needed. Everyone needs a good physician, pastor, plumber, attorney, and painter.
10. Carpe Diem. Live every day to the fullest. Live in the moment. Write your goals down. Live today. It's all you ever have.
