3. If you’re bored, you’re doing it wrong.
4. Relationships make you crazy! You fall in love. You break up with someone. You think you’re in love and realize that other person isn’t. You think you know what’s important to you but then it changes. Your 20s are full of crazy relationships.
5. Don't let your memories be the only reason you're keeping the relationship — be it familial, platonic, or romantic. Perhaps the person you're hanging onto is no longer the person you once knew and loved. Cut your losses, remember the good times, and move on.
6. Find the Right Life Partner, Don't make wrong choice. 
7. Take risk to make your own education/ experience to improve life.

16. Few decisions will ever shape your future life more than who you choose to marry. To marry well, you must choose well.
17. Love is a commitment.
18. Love Takes Your Work: All your relationships will take work. The longer and deeper your relationship, the more conflicts you will have. And dealing with those conflicts will help you learn how to compromise and curb your impulses.

20. Integrity preserved is honor won.
21. Remember: Staying in school and learning as much as possible is a more common and sure path to achievement.

35. If you want to develop your passion and gift, stop worrying about the things you do poorly. Go with your strengths!

I’m still learning — in fact I haven’t fully appreciated most of the list I made, myself. And I’m still adding to it. But I’m getting better.

Do what you love to do

Follow your bliss and your ‘work’ will feel timeless. Find work that inspires you. That will generate the velocity to work insane hours, make the most in return, and love what you do all the while. Discover yourself by doing the things you love.

Your 20s is not the time for making your resume look awesome. “Building up your resume is like saving up sex for old age.” – Warren Buffet

Do work you love right now. I understand you have obligations and you need to keep your “day” job, but you still have the weekends and M-F from 5pm-10pm to make some amazing shit happen. If you don’t take this seriously and take action now then it is very possible that you will be exactly where you are right now 6 months from now, 3 years from now or even worse, 10 years from now.
Your work is your contribution. Perform the best work you can that will give the most to society. Develop your skill set and get so good they can’t ignore you!

This is key to living a great life

Close your eyes. Think of a world without money. The way to get ahead in this world is to contribute by doing what you love. What are you doing in this scenario? Open your eyes. Now start doing that and nothing else!

Life is full of stressors. Whether it’s work, family, responsibilities or one of many deadlines, there is no shortage of things that wind us tighter than necessary. Lucky for us, there is an equal amount of relaxing remedies. The list below is 50 easy ways to relax and reduce your stress as a result.

8. Take a Vacation

Vacations can be stressful if you’re trying to be everywhere at once; however, if you chose the right spot, it’s easy to leave your stresses at home.

9. Listen to Music

There is nothing more therapeutic than music – put on some headphones, lay down where you please, get lost in the rock n roll and drift away. Beyonce, Blondie, or the Biebster, sometimes belting out the lyrics to a favorite tune makes everything seem all right. If you’re in a public place (that isn’t the opera), just listening to music can be a quick fix for a bad mood . Classical music can be especially relaxing right before bedtime.

10. Lay in the Park

Find a grassy park, throw down a blanket and relax to the sounds of birds chirping and children laughing.

13. Paint Something

You don’t have to be Picasso but artistic expression can be very therapeutic – let your mind wander and simply paint what you please.

14. Go for a Walk

Take a walk around the block or go for miles on end, regardless it’s some valuable alone time for your thoughts and a low impact kick-start for your body.

As long as it’s not a suspenseful thriller, putting on a light-hearted movie is a great way to zone out and forget your troubles.

The best of both worlds – the benefit of reading combined with the brainless effort of television – listen to a book and reap all of the relaxing rewards.

17. Go to a Concert

If music is your tonic but headphones aren’t an option, go to a live show and let your soul feed off of the positive sonic energy.

18. Lay in a Hammock

Pick a nice summer day and simply kick it in the backyard hammock – let the breeze rock you back and forth and soak up the serenity.

There’s no better way to boost your confidence and forget your troubles than cuddling with your lover in the most basic form of sexual healing.

22. Lay Under the Stars

Choose a clear and crisp evening and drive away from the city to marvel in the stars and connect with nature.

24. Steam in the Sauna

If you can stand the heat, the sauna is a great place to cleanse your body, sift through your thoughts and press reset on your stress levels.

25. Write in Your Journal

26. Meditate

You may have to read up on proper techniques but the most intense form of relaxation is found through meditation – a spiritual way to fix the physical.

27. Take a Shower

Consider a shower as a baptism of sorts – you may enter with a weight on your shoulders but you’ll no doubt leave as a different person with a lighter load.

28. Curl Up by the Fire

If it’s in the dead of winter and laying out under the stars isn’t an option, find a fireplace, start a fire and curl up in front of the blaze with a hot cup of cocoa. Relaxation is imminent.

29. Enjoy a Nice Meal

It’s called comfort food for a reason but sometimes a nice meal and some hearty calories can take the edge off.

30. Call a Friend

Sometimes a conversation with the people that know you best can be the greatest source of comfort. Call a friend or your family and let them talk you off the ledge. When something’s really bothering you, it can help to share your feelings with a pal. In fact, more talkative folks tend to be happier in general . So vent to a coworker or call a close family member and spill.

31. Walk the Dog

When your friends can’t be reached on the telephone, try spending some quality time with Man’s Best Friend. A simple walk around the block with the dogs can turn your attention to another being, distract you from your own problems and get you some exercise in the process.

A day on the lake in your own personal pod can be a serene sensation; therefore, kayaking is a great way to enjoy nature’s peacefulness and apply it to your life.

Much like Facebook, YouTube is another avenue for brainless entertainment. Yep, go on a browsing spree and find yourself laughing like never before (and decompressing as a result).

36. Play an Instrument

Granted, if you’re just learning an instrument, it might be a stressful scenario but if you’re decently versed, creating music can be a phenomenal physical and mental release.

37. Cat Nap

If you’re over worked and under-paid, block off an entire Saturday or Sunday to simply lay around and cat nap as you please. Sometimes the best remedy for stress is laziness.

38. Go Camping

Any time you can get away from work, traffic, clocks and responsibilities is the best time to relax. Try a camping retreat in the mountains or woods where your only responsibility is maintaining a fire.

39. Exercise

Yes, exercise is physical exertion but in its healthiest form. Rather than thinking of it as a chore, consider the physical gain and enjoy the rush of endorphins.

40. Count to 10

Sounds elementary but try this technique anytime you just need to slow things down a bit. 10 can actually turn into your happy place.
