In MFL MJ talks about how your early decisions have the biggest impact on your life and I agree. I look back on some decisions i made and thank my younger self and also llook back on my younger self and want to smacck him on the head for not making certain decisions and for making certain decisions. I just turned 29 and wonder if the decisions I make now to 40 will still have a huge torque? Looking back I shouldve been more bold and dreamed bigger but willing to do that now given the new knowledge plus feeling the sting of regret. So to the older folks out there do i still go hard like a young 20 year old with nothing to lose? i dont have kids or any major commttments to a house or anything.
