40 Things at 40

Yesterday was my 40th lap around the sun…

And as is tradition, I’ve got a few things to say. 

40, to be exact! 🤣

Scroll through, have a read and tell me which one hits the hardest.

  1. Lift Weights because muscle keeps you strong, independent, and out of a care home.

  2. Stretch Often because stiff bodies age faster. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.

  3. Reduce Your Stress or it’ll reduce you. High cortisol wrecks your body, your sleep, your focus, and your relationships. Handle it daily.

  4. Get Cold because comfort is killing you. Cold trains your mind, boosts recovery, and builds grit.

  5. Get Outside because your body wasn’t built for four walls and fluorescent lights. Sun, air, and nature fix more than you think.

  6. Do Hard Things because ease builds nothing. Growth lives in discomfort and if life’s going to punch you, you might as well swing first.

  7. Have a Morning Routine because how you start your day is how you live your life. Chaos in the morning? Chaos everywhere.

  8. Have an Evening Routine because your next day starts the night before. Wind down with intention or wake up already behind.

  9. Learn to Breathe because shallow breathing keeps you anxious, distracted, and reactive. Master your breath and you take back control.

  10. Understand Growth and Comfort because you won’t find progress in your comfort zone. One builds you, the other just keeps you busy.

  11. No One is Coming. No magic plan. No perfect timing. It’s on you, always has been. Own that, and everything changes.

  12. Be Who You Want to Be Around your actions set the tone so show up with the energy, values, and standards you expect.

  13. Write Shit Down because clarity lives on paper, not in your crowded head.

  14. Journal Daily not to be deep, but to stay clear. It’s a daily check-in with the only person steering the ship… you.

  15. Learn to Say No because every yes trades your time, energy, and focus. They’re limited, so treat them like your most valuable assets.

  16. You Can’t Change the Past but you can stop dragging it into your future. Learn the lesson, drop the baggage, move forward.

  17. Control Your Anger it’s the ego’s reaction to not getting its way. The storm outside means nothing when there’s calm within.

  18. Reflect Often because if you never look back, you’ll keep stepping in the same mess.

  19. Choose Who to Let In because your circle shapes your standards. Protect your energy like your future depends on it… It does.

  20. Teach Others because real legacy isn’t what you achieve, it’s what you pass on.

  21. Learn Something New because the brain needs reps too. Stay curious, stay sharp.

  22. Never Blame because pointing fingers keeps you stuck. Own your part, fix what you can, and move forward with clarity, not excuses

  23. Never Complain because whining solves nothing. If you don’t like it, change it.

  24. Confidence is Sexy and it’s built through discipline. Do the work, keep your word, and let results do the talking.

  25. Nothing Worth Having is Easy so stop chasing shortcuts. The results you want live on the other side of consistency and effort.

  26. It’s Never Too Late to Change Your Life unless you keep telling yourself it is. Start now or stay stuck.

  27. Get Paid For Your Passion or spend the next 40 years clocking in, zoning out, and wondering what life could have been.

  28. Find Your “Thing” it doesn’t have to impress anyone. It just has to light you up. That’s what makes life worth living.

  29. Always Learn New Skills because who you are today shouldn’t be the limit of who you can become.

  30. If You Don’t Try, You Fail – because fear has stolen more dreams than failure ever could.

  31. Light the Expensive Candle because saving joy for someday is a fast track to regret. Use the good stuff while you’re here.

  32. Fuck the Finish Line because chasing “done” misses the point. Growth happens in the journey, not the goal.

  33. Enjoy the Obstacles because they’re not in the way, they are the way.

  34. The 33% Rule learn from those ahead, grow with those beside you, and lift those behind. That’s how you stay grounded and growing.

  35. Learn to Delegate because doing it all isn’t strength, it’s control in disguise.

  36. Work on Your Weaknesses because small cracks become sinkholes. Fix the leak before it sinks the ship.

  37. Get Out of the Jar because you can’t read the label from inside your own mess.

  38. Don’t Wait for Motivation because It’s a myth. Discipline is what gets you up when the hype fades.

  39. Foul Weather Friends find them, keep them, be one. The real ones show up when it’s hard, not just when it’s easy.

  40. Stop Protecting, Start Connecting because you weren’t built to go it alone. Strength isn’t silence, it’s having the courage to be seen.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s Knowledge Bomb.

See you next week for another instalment.
