I'm 35. If I were 18 again, here are the 35 things I'd do differently: 1. Realize college is a scam.

2. Bet on myself as often as possible. 3. Cut negative people out of my life. 4. Watch less sports. 5. Unlearn the food pyramid and eat more protein.

6. Never stop physically competing 7. Spend more time outdoors. 8. Dive deep into nutrition sooner. 9. Ask more questions to challenge my own thoughts and the narrative.

10. Learn to do as many things with my hands as possible. 11. Explore more of my passions and less of what was safe and secure. 12. Start a small business even if I had no idea what I was doing. 13. Understand sound money.

14. Get in the habit of writing daily. 15. Spend time around as many different careers as possible. 16. Act more and plan less. 17. Start investing right away.

18. Chase freedom of time instead of money. 19. Use social media to create more and consume less. 20. Take daily walks without distraction. 21. Travel as much as possible.

22. Drink more water and a whole lot less alcohol. 23. Focus on networking rather than memorization and grades in school. 24. Find likeminded men who challenge me and hold me accountable. 25. Lift weights more and run less.

30. Become a morning person. 31. Take advantage of free education (Youtube, podcasts, etc.) 32. View risk as an opportunity and take more of it.

33. Find my own answers instead of trusting "experts." 34. Learn as many tech skills as possible. 35. Realize its all up to me and no one is coming to save me.

You can't turn back the clock but you can move forward. Challenge yourself to learn new skills, get out of your comfort zone, and think for yourself. You will look back a year from now as I do and not recognize the person you once were. It's never too late to get started.

@chrisboettcher9 how to eliminate negative self talk

@TariqWahaaj Become aware of it first and then when you begin to hear those consistent thoughts immediately replace it with something that builds you up. Another great tool is writing down several affirmations each morning to set the tone for the day.

@chrisboettcher9 How do you know what kind of relationships you want if you don't fail at some initially? I don't think anyone has a perfect relationship on day 0.
