Why your 20s is the time to learn to be comfortable with who you really are.
As the old saying goes, trying to please everyone is
the ultimate key to failure. When you are 20 to 29 years old, you should feel
happy for who you are because at this age, you are supposed to know exactly
where you are heading. You should feel happy and comfortable with the roads
that you have chosen or the decisions that you have made because you are fully
responsible for your own life.
At 20s, you already have your own set of beliefs or
principles. It could be anything which is related to your mindset, characters
and attitude. As you have your own principles, don’t worry about the circle of
friends that is getting smaller as quality should always outweigh quantity. If
you feel happy with a few friends you have now, keep them well as when you
reach 30s and above, these good friends have important roles to play.
This is also the right time for you to do a long
self-reflection about your personal goals. Perhaps you may want to get married
when you are 24 or 26. If you you wish to remain single before 30, it is the
right time to socialize and look for the right one. If you can’t find the right
one, maybe you should try to be the right one. Who knows it might attract the
one that you have been looking for. On the other hand, at this age, you have
all of the opportunties to study about someone’s marriage who is older than who
you are and that observation may serve as valuable guidelines for you to make a
decision on what kind of man or woman that you want to spend the rest of your
life with. Last but not least, try your best not lock yourself in your room
while looking for the right one as virtual love is not the same with reality.
You have to get out of that room of yours including your restricted thoughts
and start bulding the number of high quality acquaintances. Your family may
introduce you to someone as your life partner, but you are the only one who
knows exaclty the inner qualities of a man or a woman which are compatible with
yours. Furthermore, you should feel comfortable saying “No” in a polite manner because
that kind of decision could be the mother of all the consequences that you will
face in the future.
Graduation is a normal stage in life. Whether you have
a diploma or first degree, this is the time for you to decide about which stage
that you want to pursue next. If you feel like you want to start working, go
ahead because theory is nothing without experiences. On the other hand, if you
have minimial responsibilities especially if your parents are financially
strong and your siblings can manage themselves well, it is okay for you to do
your master or perhaps phd.
When you are 20 to 29 years old, this is the best time
for you to redefine what you want in life. You have the absolute freedom to
find the very meaning of your existence before you embrace new commitments when
you reach 30 years old and above. Try to spend your time and money in other
countries or places you have never visited to diversify your perspectives
about yourself.
Life is not supposed to be a rat race. You shall not
please the society that only cares about temporary perfection. Your inner
happiness should always be your main priority. Learn to slow down at this age
because this stage of life does not come twice. Enjoy it but learn a lot from
it through daily observations and self-reflection.
