Hey there. Tonight is, I think it's April 15th, and it is exactly one month before my 35th birthday and I wanted to do a podcast tonight and I reached

out for some topics and I wrote down 10 things as I count down to 35.

So I probably will do a couple things

across Instagram, maybe some tweets,

maybe a couple more podcasts on what I've learned.

The lessons as I approach 35, you know, the last month of, you know, before I reach my personal new year I have

some cool things planned which is really crazy because I typically never

celebrate my birthday it's never really been a big thing for me, but I'm kind of looking forward to it this year.

It's kind of important. 35, I didn't even know that in order to run for president, you have to be 35 now I can run I'm kidding I can't I'm not

interested I could number one is that I've learned that it takes effort to be happy and I think that that is discounted so often and

so often we think that we should just be happy because, you know, you know, something will happen to you,

your car breaks down. People like, you should be happy because you have a car or just you should be happy

because you came that way or you just should be and I have to tell you that

that's not the case and if that's what you've been banking on and you're not

happy that's probably why Happy just doesn't happen. It is something that when you have to

focus on your happiness, every morning when I wake up I say my prayers, thank you then I think about how I'm going to have a good day

I focus on my happiness I make sure that it's a priority so much so and I can't remember if I told this story or not but there was a time when a person sort of gave me a backhanded compliment.

You know how people do that, tell you something, but in a nice tea kind of way, and it's just like, if you really felt like talking trash, then just say that I actually would have more respect for you if you did that

I was, now that I'm approaching 35,

before I would allow those backhanded compliments to affect me.

They would affect things moving forward.

And so now I'm kind of just like, you know,
