There is an 89.65% chance that you won’t need
any of this advice until much later in life. One of youth’s benefits for most Americans is good health and an optimistic outlook on the future. According to a World Health Organization study in 2013, the probability of premature death for Americans aged between 15 to 60 years is 10.35% (13.0% for men and 7.7% for females). That means that 89.65% of Americans that reach age 15 will Continue Reading
Your personal story is about to conclude another chapter. Just like being engrossed in a good book, you don’t usually analyze the last chapter because you’re eager to discover what’s next.
Unlike a good book, you’re the author of your personal story. What twists and turns do you want in your future chapters?
During this time of year it’s common for many articles to focus on how to make next year 
better and more productive. Yet, so few encourage you to understand why this last year counts towards your personal story.

A friend forwarded me information about an upcoming music festival which had one of my old favorite bands as the headliner. I looked at the link and had no desire to go. I quickly reflected, “That was a fun phase.”
My mindset has drastically shifted since those mosh pit days where I now enjoy going to see music with reserved seats. My twenty-year old self would call me out for being a square, but you know what twenty-year old Dan, I ENJOY BEING A SQUARE! I rather sit down and enjoy watching a band play with the Colorado Symphony than bash into other mosh pit participants.
Favorite vacation spots, hobbies, hair styles, music tastes, and other daily habits enter our lives with importance and then are nostalgically, or embarrassingly, reflected upon by our older selves.

“Why don’t we go to the last trail marker and then try to find the hut from there?” I asked.
“Because the hut is off the trail by .8 miles.”
This answer felt like a punch in the gut. At this moment, the snowfall picked up, we were exhausted after nine miles of hiking in the snow, the cloud cover caused the sky to get dark earlier, and our group couldn’t locate our shelter. Being exposed in the wilderness with no easy access to civilization (or any other building to provide shelter) made our group vulnerable to the mountain. Continue Reading
