“Your twenties are the time to both accept and fight your way into the person you’re destined to become.” – Adam Braun

(Full list and graphic below!)

I am constantly on a journey of self-improvement.

With each source of inspiration, each person that I aspire to be like, each radically successful and impactful individual (see bottom of post for a list!) who I admire, I attempt to understand the how and why of their success(es).

I attempt to determine and understand their characteristics, their chosen path, their decisions and motivations that allowed them to achieve whatever it was they were after, and beyond.

Their careers (self-made millionaires, teachers, coaches, athletes, consultants, etc.) and their achievements vary wildly, but there are several key characteristics that they share.

As a 20-something, this information is invaluable as we continue to shape our life paths, aspirations and goals. Further, many of these points are core to the themes of ADH as I will discuss in greater detail throughout the new year.

This list is my attempt to combine some of the key characteristics and pieces of advice that I have learned from those many steps ahead of me as a 20-something just getting started.

This list of advice and guiding points that I have collected over the past year or so has helped me tremendously, and I hope it does the same for you.

A few months ago, I shared with you 22 Ways to Be Incredibly Average at 22.

This time I’m sharing the opposite list, the one you should actually take to heart, and I hope this one resonates with you many more times over…
