If I Could Start Over at 21, I’d Do THIS

If you could give yourself one piece of advice to your 21-year-old self, what would it be?

If you keep giving your all, your gifts will make room for you. If you will not let anything stop you and you really focus on serving, because I really believe the only solution to long-term happiness is to get outside yourself. The human mind will always find something to be concerned about, pissed off about, worried about. But when you're serving, you're not there. There's something magical about finding something you care about more than yourself, buying something you care about more than yourself, because that's what's going to be the secret to your growth and your aliveness, whether it's your family, it's your friends, it's your company, it's a, it's a nonprofit thing to you, it's a mission for you. And if you've got that kind of drive, you're going to keep growing. And if you keep growing, you have plenty to give. And if you keep giving, you're going to have a meaningful life. In the end, that's what we all really want, is a life that's really full of meaning. If you can find that and find something that gives you that pull, your life is going to be one hell of an adventure.
