HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jade! 🎉 Love #11 around making sure you're climbing the right mountain.

I hope that you'll put all these lessons into a book one day, Jade! So valuable.

A few I'd add to (or expand upon) this exceptional list: - You are what you eat and drink. Food is medicine for the body. How you eat and hydrate will take years off/on your body. Fuel it accordingly. - Serve - impact the world by serving others, whether at work or outside of work. I've found that I typically get more out of serving than those that I serve. - Finance - be intentional about how you spend, save, give, and invest. Most focus on spending and savings, but giving and investing will compound and have the greatest returns over time. - Faith - others might have a different way to express it, but spend time building and enhancing your eternal plan. - Balance - in the words of my dad and his dad "Nobody ever said 'I wish I'd worked more hours' on their death bed." Take time to sharpen your saw.

Happy birthday to you Jade Bonacolta #7 Re-iterares why smart phones can be a curse (not kidding), given how awfully long I know some people scrolling through them (especially the younger generation). I feel thankful that I grew up without them --------> I can imagine how much time I would have lost because I them #9 I can relate to because PAIN = GROWTH (learned that from lifting weights) #12 Is only understood by people who think long term. One question I ask myself is "What do I want my 100 year old self to say to me?". If it's not "You did the right thing" then I've failed. Relating that to health, I am convinced I HEALTH is a valuable LUXURY, equally as valuable as PRIVACY as per what you said before. Looking forward to a new year of brilliance and inspiration from you 😃😃😃

Spot on on every one of these! Particularly agree with the 19th one. I think I've always just leaned into my strengths for most of my early 20s and it never occurred to me that I had boundless potential waiting to be tapped into. It's something that I thankfully had the chance to explore in my mid-20s - of whose benefits I reap in my late 20s. I'd say there's a timeline for everyone and as mentioned, comparison is the thief of joy. I see the navigation of one's life akin to driving. You can take small glimpses on the side just to be able to find references of comparison with others but you can't look at them for too long else you'll get derailed on your own path. Jade Bonacolta

I would add this: Put in the reps. Put in the reps. Put in the reps. If you really want to hit expert level at anything, you need to work consistently (every day if possible) to see results. A few lucky people are born with natural talent. But hard work will eat talent for breakfast 🥞. Do the work.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday. The wisdom of age is the ability to appreciate how rare and special life is, and that ageing is a an absolute privilege. So many of these resonated with me. And I just keep on learning every single day. And I’m nearly twice your age 😉Enjoy the celebrations 🎉 Your content is always a joy in my feed. #ThankYou

8 and 12. On 8, extensive travel will open your mind and give you massive perspective. I’d do even more than suggested. Really go all out. On 12. Yes the science is clear. Health habits in your 20s, 30s and 40s impact your health the most in your 50s+. You set your life’s health trajectory in these earlier decades. Develop a good workout habit, diet habits, and coping habits. They will compound.

I read a stat that when my daughters graduate high school I will have spent 80% of my time with them. If that’s not motivating to be present I don’t know what is.
