10 Things I Have Learned In The Past 5 Years

Preview

1. I was shackled by my desire for admiration

2. Being in a relationship is better than sleeping around

3. A lot of change can happen in a few years or even a few months

4. You're not supposed to be the same person you were five years ago

And this is something to keep in mind when thinking about what you want in life.

5. It's OK to experiment rather than obsess with specialization

In fact, it might even be better.

6. Most suffering comes from being too focused on yourself

7. Religion might not be as bad as I thought

Or at least it's not so black-and-white.

8. Aiming for entrepreneurship rather than a "dream job" is much better

At least for me.

9. Responsibility

Well, to a certain extent. I could do better.

10. Self-compassion
