This is the 7th year I’ve written on my birthday. Every year the format of my birthday article changes, and this year is no exception. In the past, I've focused on lessons learned, but this year I will just share things that are on my mind. 

This is the 6th year I’ve written on my birthday.

This year I was blessed with the birth of my son. Though I anticipated that becoming a father would be life-changing, I could never have predicted all the profound ways in which this tiny human would change me. So this year’s article is a Thank You to him for unknowingly teaching me many valuable lessons that I am grateful for and excited to share with you.

Ideas, in my opinion, are only as good as the impact they create when acted upon.

It is now my 3rd year writing a birthday post recapping my past year and summarizing the things I learned.

Last year I wrote an article covering the main lessons I learned by the age of 30. This year I decided to do it again. This year I finally wrapped my head around how people become adults.
