I forced myself to keep awake since I want to make this day more memorable.

I started opening this site at 11:11 PM, which is the perfect moment to manifest.

I'm now turning 20 and believe I have learned a lot. I repeat the same mistakes, and I know I still have much to learn.

Here are the 20 things that I have learned before I turned 20.

1. Rejection means redirection.
2. Don't underestimate the power of tiny habits.
3. Continue with your goals and be consistent.
4. If you didn't become consistent, then try again.
5. If that's for you, then that's for you.
6. However, it won't be for you if you don't do something.
7. Don't listen to others' negative perceptions unless it is a criticism.
8. Take advantage of every opportunity that aligns with your vision.
9. Be humble, and don't look at everyone like you are the best.
10. Keep on grinding even if you feel demotivated.
11. Achievement is still an achievement.
12. Be grateful for everything.
13. Love is a trap unless you are already committed.
14. They will have something to say even if you do good or bad, so don't give a fuck.
15. Don't aim for the top, but aim for the best.
16. Be confident about what you are.
17. Surround yourself with less toxic people.
18. Destress more often.
19. Music takes away stress, I swear!
20. Money is so powerful (unfortunately).

I am already 20 years old, so I am not immature to wish for material things. I just want a promising career, to grow my side hustles, and to improve myself. I am an asset, and I want to improve it.

This year, I visualized myself walking on stage again to accept my academic award, be a valuable outsource to one of my friends, and get more than four digits of earnings as an affiliate🧿🧿🧿.

Happy 20th birthday self.
