Birthday Reflections Upon Turning 36
Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!
Every birthday, I like to take a day off to reflect and give thanks for the previous year, and brainstorm what I would like to focus on in the upcoming years. I like to think of it as constant realignment of my priorities in life.
Here are some things I would like to focus on for the next few years:
- Continue exercising and eating healthy consistently
- Spend more time on friendships and relationships
- Read more about psychology, philosophy, mental models
- Try some new things like cooking, Salsa, art, wine appreciation, etc
- Travel more (aim for 100 countries before 40)
- Embrace minimalism, to focus time and attention on things which are important
- Becoming better at mindfulness, empathy, gratitude, self-esteem, and showing love & kindness
- Continue to create more educational and inspiring content on my blog and various channels to help others
- Find new ways/careers/volunteer work that can make a difference in people’s lives
Once again, a big thanks to everyone who has supported me all these years, and to those who have put in the extra effort to make my 36th birthday a memorable one! ?
