30 Posts from a 30 Year Old

Written by Ken Bernock | Follow me on Twitter and discuss on Google+.

Yesterday, December 4th was my 30th Birthday. Yes, I’ve heard it all weekend. I’m old, my hip and knees are about to give out, my speed is slowing down little by little, and the weight will be sneaking up on me now more than ever.

I feel better than ever and look forward to the next 30 years of my life.

All weekend I’ve been looking back at my years going through my head of all the great memories and lessons learned. The good, the bad, and the “never will I forgets”.

I’ve learned a great deal over the last 30 years through experiments, reading, and connecting with some amazing people; some of those people through this blog, Thank You!

Joshua and Ryan of The Minimalists wrote two amazing posts when they turned 30. 30 Life Lessons From 30 Years and 30 More Life Lessons from 30 Years. They both did an amazing job which I’m sure I couldn’t match.

I will give you this though. Below you’ll find my favorite 30 blog posts that I’ve read this year.

(Chase Night and Ev Bogue were included, but they decided they wanted to delete their articles so I couldn’t link to them.)
