Like I want, I want to prioritize people who prioritize me.

Number 12, do something physically and mentally challenging in your twenties just to prove you can.

I know we talked about like the quitting something you're dependent on.

This is like a physical challenge, whether it is a like multi-day hike, whether it is a marathon, whatever it is, whether it is a pilgrimage, a lot of these are really like hiking related, um,

At some stage in your 20s, choose like a physical thing and you know you're going to have to push yourself hard to complete and like really say to yourself, I'm going to do that.

I'm going to complete this.

This is going to be my mission for the next however many months, however many years.

I know I made this video the other day that was like, I know I can do hard things.

Now I need to learn easy things.

So this might sound like kind of hypocritical.

But I do think that you can only grow as far as you can see yourself suffering, which sounds really awful.

But what I mean by that is like there's –

if you really believe like I can't do that and it's all in your head or if there are things that you genuinely are like, I don't have what it takes to try this thing.

I don't have what it takes to do this risk.

I don't have what it takes to like put myself out there.

Doing a task, doing a challenge like this that puts you in probably a very similar mental state of suffering, of pain, of

just like frustration and then showing yourself step by step, moment by moment, that you are capable of taking that bad day, taking that bad mood, taking that leg cramp, whatever it is, and moving through it is so psychologically powerful for anything else you want to do in life.

It's so psychologically powerful because much like quitting the thing you're dependent on, much like, I guess, the addiction part of this conversation,

it just rewires your brain and it rewires yourself for self-belief and for self-trust and for knowing that you are capable of so much more.

So add that to your bucket list, a physically challenging adventure that you're going to tick off by the time you turn 30.
