5 Things You Must Do in Your Life
These experiences will transform your worldview❤️
Hello dear friend,
I'm not a big follower of self-help and personal development cliches. Waking up at 5 AM doesn't work for everyone (trust me, I've tried). Nor does keeping my room super clean and getting rid of every belonging that doesn't "spark joy" (let me hoard in peace, fellas!).
That said, there are some things I believe every person should experience at least once in their lives. Not because of how amazing the experiences are in themselves, but because of what you have to go through to achieve them, and how the journey will transform you.
Here's my list of the five things I believe every person must do before they die:
Live in a body you're proud of, for fitness is a lifestyle choice, not a 30-day goal.
Live alone, because of how much strength and resilience it teaches you.
Build something from scratch, for it teaches patience and discipline.
Make money by doing something you love, for you need to know what your skills are worth.
Go on a trip without booking a return ticket, for how else would you taste the adventure your soul so craves?
What else would you add to this list?
I've also made a detailed video explaining my tryst with these experiences and what they taught me. If you're curious about why you need to do these five things before you die, go ahead and have a look at the video:

Until then, stay awesome, and much love,

I'm curious: if hoarding doesn't spark joy for you... why do it?
If hoarding brings you joy, I encourage you to keep doing it. Heck, I encourage you to take hoarding to the next level if that makes you happy. But if it doesn't bring you joy or peace, what's the point?
As someone who has gone through a full KonMari festival, I know it's a major time and energy suck (in the short term) and I only recommend it when someone can handle that intensity. If someone isn't prepared to deal with the feelings which come up when one sorts through personal possessions, that makes sense. (And some people are never prepared... so I actually agree that the KonMari method isn't for everyone).
BTW, Marie Kondo recommends keeping the emphasis on the things which spark joy, not obsessing over discards. Discarding things you no longer want is a means to have more space for the things you want, it's not the end goal. This is one of the most common ways people miss the point of Marie Kondo's books.
