35 Life Lessons Learned: A Birthday Special Tradition with Cary Jack

Have you ever stopped to reflect on the lessons life has taught you so far? In this special episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I’ll share my 35 life lessons broken down using our "S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N" system, which is all about harmonizing ambition and well-being. So whether you're looking to improve your personal growth, relationships, or health, this episode has something to guide you through it. These aren’t just ideas; they’re actionable truths that I’ve been my compass on this crazy journey. Selfless Service is amongst the greatest joy one can feel. Giving to others without reciprocation in mind breeds good karma. Empathy is a powerful gift you can give anyone. Optimized Health is the key piece to the puzzle of a beautiful life. Without ENERGY, Happy Hustlin’ becomes irrelevant. Little habits breed big results. It’s more about what you don’t do than what you do. Unplugging Digitally is a requirement for holistic happiness. Discipline and barriers are amongst the swords to slay the digital dragon. When you fall victim to the viral vortex, go outside and be with nature. Loving Relationships are the fabric for a warm blanket in a winter storm. LOVE is effort multiplied intentionally. Put your partner’s needs over your wants and you’ll have peace and love. Fatherhood has single handedly provided the greatest emotional love peak of my human existence. Mindful Spirituality means knowing and trusting GOD. 5 minutes of daily affirmations and I AM statements will help manifest your dream reality. Do not purposefully suspend your critical thinking to blindly follow a religion, rather question everything to determine what you truly believe and why. Abundance Financially provides freedom. Money is a store of value, use your energy wisely to attain it and your intellect wisely when trading it. More money makes you more of who you really are. Money won’t buy you sustained joy, only temporary happiness. Personal Development is the art of inner growth. Intentionally choose what enters your conscious and subconscious to ensure positive evolution, then find a mentor who can help expedite the journey. Take advice only from those who you would literally trade places with both personally and professionally. Passionate Hobbies are a breath of fresh air for entrepreneurs who have been underwater for too long. DO fun things that bring you pleasure, guilt-free. Creativity is sparked when you escape the invisible fence you’ve been caged in. Choose something that brings you joy, that will grow your skills, and involves others you want to be around.. Then do it regularly every week. Impactful Work is at the intersection of passion, purpose, and positive impact. The Happy Hustle has changed my life by proving that you can have personal and professional life balance. It is possible to systematically harmonize ambition & well-being, the Happy Hustle shows you how. Solve a problem that you care about with a solution you can profit from. Nature connection is mandatory for mental health. God designed us to be a part of nature, not just visit it. Happy Hustlin’ means protecting those and that which we love, including nature. These are the 35 life lessons I’ve learned over the years so far. I hope these insights resonate with you and help guide you on your own journey to harmonizing ambition and well-being.
