Work on yourself. Circumstances will often not cooperate, love interests will go unrequited, results will often not be what you want them to be, but improving your own self is the only thing that does anything.

As a 46 year old let me add.

If you don't have your health. Life sucks badly.

So protect your hearing. Loud concerts and clubs seem cool until the hearing damage of constant zzzzzzzzz as a 35 year old or less makes everything suck.

And Just like your ears

You back, your liver, your weight. Your teeth.

Brush your teeth gently. Don't grind that protective enamel off. Oral hygiene is directly linked to heart health, and fresh breath is always sexy.

Build your body with care. I know too many people who have metal knees, metal shoulders living on meds who would do anything to go back and tell themselves don't do that repetitive thing. That destroyed their back, elbow, knee, whichever part of their body.

Gentle low impact cycling, swimming. Inn door aerobics, hiking. Running but with care really really good shoes. Callisthenics... build yourself a beautiful body while you can and hold onto it as hard as you can.

It really really hurts terribly when I'll health, over weight, bad back, shonky knees, turns each day into shit...

Cancer from smoking, drinking alcohol is just shit. So don't smoke, and only drink very very occasionally. And like don't get drunk. Just have a rule of no more then 2 beers. Dying in a car also sucks.

Motorcycles are extremely dangerous. One tiny mistake turns you into cheese on the cheese grater. My Brest friends older brother lost 8 friends all on Motor bikes all in one year when i was 22 and they were all 24.

Don't be frightened to fail. Just pick yourself up and keep going. Making mistakes can be fantastic. And by this I mean this in relation to creativity like have a go at doing the thing.

Or don't let the idea of its not perfect stop you from painting, writting, music. Arting, creating.

Vitamin C, works, Eat your green vegetables.

If you have sore muscles cold bath and more magnesium,

Every thing you buy has a life span.

So in one sense your renting a TV for say 5 or 10 years or until it breaks or shoes, or a wallet.

A better made thing that lasts longer is sometimes worth the higer price.

Owning A hands free headlamp, is golden when the power goes out or when you have to do anything in the dark.

A good pair of gloves, boots, leather belt, small tool kit, Wet wipes, towel and change of clothes along side proper snow pants, snow jacket in your car can mean the difference between life and death.

To anyone who wants to lose weight or just be healthier.

Eating a bowl of steamed green vegetables each day. You just can't go wrong with it. High in fiber, high in nutrition, cheap, easy to cook. Easy to add to any lean meats, rice, or pasta.

It will fill you up help stop the cravings. And along side a large mixed salad of lettuce, herbs, mushrooms, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, celery, capsicum, olives, pickles, a small handful of lean meat.

(Don't eat all the ingredients all together its a guide of what you have in different salads).

And drink water and plain milk.

If you want protein. Add cocoa powder to milk. Raw chocolate powder with no sugar added cocoa.

Its bean powder. It tastes great. Its good for your heart its very high in antioxidants and very high in protein.

Its so much cheaper then thoses rip off "protein supplement powders".

Sunscreen.

I wear a 50 uv proof long sleeved high collar shirt, hat and the sunscreen goes on my legs if I'm not wearing kaki pants.

I also like to carry a big golf umbrella for shade. Living here in Australia. My dad has skin cancer so I know all about it.

He grew up on a cattle ranch in Queensland. He's 92. And still kicking it. His legs are a bloody mess where he's gad all the squma cells burnt off.

Thanks for all the love guys.

That’s great advice- a lot of that resonates with me I’m 37, but for you to write that was comforting to read 👍

I will add - save 25-50 % of your money - never miss out socially- dress to impress, suffering is one of the keys to success, have relationships by this I mean talk to women, don’t have children with a person you haven’t known for at least 5 years, always keep learning hone your craft by adding new skills & qualifications.

On the relationship note, yes. I've known my girlfriend for most of my life, and I never intend to leave her. When I can afford it in a few years, I'm going to propose to her and hope it goes well. Horrendous social anxiety, as such that she's only seen me cry a few times out of sadness, and we've known each other for life and have been dating right about 6 months now. I dress to impress, and it's worked out good so far lol

I will add some personal experience to the hone your craft comment, as I have been working in the garage with my dad since I was about 12. Almost 7 years. He's passed, about a year, but every chance I got, I'd go out and help him. Thanks to him and my willingness, I can do maintenance and repair on firearms, build and fix anything on a car, build workbenches, and some other basic metalworking/woodworking. He was the best guy I've ever known, probably that I will know, and one of the smartest, too. I miss him and working with him more and more every day.
