Before You Hit 30, 30 Things to Consider
I am a fan of these types of articles, so here is my attempt at being original. This blogpost was inspired by two of my favorite OAPs (On-Air Personalities) who recently turned thirty: Gbemi Olateru of the beat FM and Toke Makinwa of Rhythm FM. These are things I would like to do or habits I encourage people to develop before age thirty. And if you are above 30, I believe these still apply. Enjoy:

The Dreaded Grey Area of Life
I met with a good friend for coffee yesterday. Were both in our mid 30s, and we cannot believe how dumbfounded we have been to really see just how much shit we go through isn't "black or white". In fact, love, loss, relationships, friendships, dreams, goals, all happen in the dreaded grey area.

2019
Dear 2019, Thank you for all the memories. I have learned so much from you. I have laughed till I cried, smiled so hard it hurt, cried so hard that I thought I would break and grew so much from all the lessons. Thank you for giving me more lessons than I thought I needed. Thank you for giving me the most nurturing, adventurous, funny, and down to earth friends I could have ever asked for. Thank you for letting me see some people's true colors. Thank you for letting me go through a couple heartbreaks. Heartbreaks can lead to a world of things that make you feel sad, but in 2019 I learned how to deal with heartbreak in a healthy way thanks to my friends. I am forever thankful for the people 2019 brought to me, because I think God knew that the people I had in my life before were not good people. So He brought good, genuine people in my life that would help me become a better version of myself. Whether that was with a relationship, job loss, friendship loss or whatever the case may be. I got my heart broken and learned from it. I learned how to love myself and be my own soulmate for once, and for that I am truly thankful. 2019 was one for the books for sure, I had to learn how to live without some people who I thought would be in my life forever. But with that, I gained some true friends that I never knew I needed. I had to learn how to cope with some of the greatest losses I have ever had to deal with. I had to learn how to understand true friendships versus fake friendships. Trying to navigate people and learn how true they are to one person was a task I was not ready for or knew I needed to learn. I had to realize that coffee was just maybe the job for me. Making coffee for people may not be for everyone but somehow for the last 3 years it is all I ever wanted to do or to be better put; all I ever and will always know. I have had some of the greatest adventures I will ever remember. I learned how to live more in the moment than on Snapchat. I learned that being a cashier and a bagger for one of the largest companies just was not for me. I learned that my musical tastes went far beyond Taylor Swift and Backstreet Boys. I learned who I was not as a person but as an employee. 2019, thank you for everything. if it was not for you, I would not be the person I am today. So thank you, and here's to 2020. A new decade, a new year and a whole lot of new adventures. I cannot friggin' wait. I cannot wait to see where my job takes me, and how I grow with that. I cannot wait to see where this blog takes me because it is my passion to write and I will forever be a writer. I cannot wait to see who will still be by my side in 2020 because friendships have not always been my strong suit. I cannot wait to see how my family does in 2020, what they accomplish for the good. I cannot wait to see what adventures happen in 2020 because it is about to be my year. The year of prosper, making money and doing big things.

Just Get Up and Do It!
Have you ever procrastinated on doing something or going somewhere you’ve always been wanting to visit? But you keep saying you will do it soon or next year? Well let me tell you, I procrastinated on doing a few things, but the major one was that I kept procrastinating on starting my own business for several months because I didn't think I could do it or I didn't think I had it in me to actually start it on my own and launch it. I just want to say, you should never push your dreams or goals to the side for anything. If you really want to, start that business you want, go on that vacation you have been dying to go on, apply for that really big promotion you've been constantly thinking about before you lay your eyes shut at night, or even just go skydiving because your that crazy lol, GO FOR IT!!

So, What's the Problem?
We often think we know what the problem or challenge is that we want to find a solution to. However, the reality is that, whilst we may be right, we may also be wrong. There is always a different way to view a challenge. A different perspective can, and often does, lead to a different solution.

5 Common Threads in Every Success Story
It's easy to look at someone who's done what you want to do — someone already successful —and think they must have talent, money, opportunity, luck, or some kind of crazy connection that normal people like us just don't have access to.

Spend Ten Minutes a Day Becoming an Idea Machine
Last year I read about this thing that James Altucher does. He has a habit of writing down 10 ideas a day. I decided to give it a try and it changed my life. It's been about a year and I feel like I've leveled up in a way that doesn't happen very often.
