Summary

Hey amigos!

Today is my 30th birthday! I'm having an incredible day celebrating with my family and friends.

30 is a big milestone for me. I've been reflecting deeply on the last decade and looking forward to the next decade.

I thought about creating a "30 Lessons Learned from 30 Years of Living" for you, but I decided to simply share one of my favorite messages with you instead.

This audio is a short clip from a Jim Rohn speech. I keep it on my desktop and listen to it at least a couple of times per week.

This is the succinct message that I would like to share with you to celebrate my birthday.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Talk soon,

Joshua
