19 Life Lessons For Gen Zs

I wrote this post 5+ years ago for Millennials, and I'm reposting it for my Gen Z readers (with a few tweaks.) Why? Because they are still relevant today and tomorrow as they were back then.

"Oh that I had learned all these early in life. Better late than never."

1. Know who you are. Don't let social media or someone else define you.
2. Discover your talents early in life. They’ll lead you to your life purpose.
3. Make personal and professional growth a priority.
4. Be friendly to others. Jerks lose in the long run.
5. Don’t burn bridges. You may just end up stuck on an island.
6. Think positively. It takes as much work to think negatively, but the rewards are better.
7. Don’t look down on others. They may be ahead of you tomorrow.
8. Manage your time and money. They are bad masters when they manage you.
9. Start living healthy early in life. It’s more expensive to start when you are older.
10. Don’t fear failure and mistakes. Their bark is much louder than their bite.
11. Laugh at yourself often. Don't take yourself too seriously.
12. Your view of life is yours alone. Appreciate how others see life.
13. Experience other cultures. Your life will be richer from the experience.
14. Become an expert in your zone. Average people don’t amount to much.
15. Live to make a difference in life. But remember that life will go on without you.
16. Have a vision for your life. You are on this earth for a reason.
17. You can’t please everyone. Just don’t hurt the important people in your life.
18. And enjoy the spotlight now. Gen Alpha are at least 10 years away from joining the workforce.
19. Above all, put God first. He really exists.
