I Turn 60 Today—Here Are 5 Lessons Life Taught Me


🎉 Today, I turn 60 years old.

If you’re reading this on June 21st, 2025—happy birthday to me!

Over the past 60 years, I’ve made mistakes, taken risks, bounced through hard seasons, and learned a lot. And today, I want to share five of the biggest life lessons that have shaped how I show up every single day.

💥 Here they are:

1️⃣ Take care of yourself.
Since August 29, 2017, I’ve run at least a mile every day. Not to show off—but to show up for myself. Movement is medicine.

2️⃣ Establish strong boundaries.
My boundaries are legendary. Picture: 25-foot walls, rebar, snipers, and a moat filled with (possibly poisonous) alligators. Don’t just protect your time—defend it.

3️⃣ Hang around people who are where you want to be.
The fastest way to grow is to get in the room with people who’ve already made the leap.

4️⃣ Growth lives on the other side of discomfort.
As Steve Harvey says, “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” If you’re always cozy, you’re not growing.

5️⃣ Don’t take life so seriously.
You get one shot at this thing called life—don’t spend it stressed out, burnt out, or buried in busyness. Have fun.

🎂 As I hit the big 6-0, I’m not slowing down—I’m doubling down on clarity.

Hey, Reader! It’s February 13, and if your mornings still feel like a battle—or if you’re wondering why your days start reactive instead of intentional—let’s talk about something I fought for years: the 5 a.m. club. I was a committed night owl. Bed at 11 or midnight, up at 7 or 8, coffee in hand by 9. That was my rhythm. When I first read Robin Sharma’s The 5AM. Club, I thought, “No way. Not for me.” I read it four times over the years, loved the stories and lessons, but every time I closed...

Hey, Reader! It’s February 6, and if we’re being real, the New Year glow has probably dimmed for a lot of us. Goals that felt exciting on January 1 now feel heavy. Energy’s low, motivation’s spotty, and the couch is winning more battles than it should. I’ve been there. But here’s the truth I’ve learned the hard way: You can have the best mindset, the clearest Why, the perfect plan—but if your body is running on empty, none of it sticks. Productivity isn’t just about your calendar or your...

Hey, Reader! It’s January 30. We’re almost through the first month of 2026, and if you’re like a lot of people I talk to, you’ve already felt the shift. The shiny New Year’s excitement has worn off. Some habits stuck, some slipped. Maybe you restarted a few times. Maybe you’re wondering why your to-do list still feels like a weight instead of a map. Here’s the question I hear most often from clients and listeners: “Mark, can you teach me how to plan better?” My answer always surprises them:...
