I just turned 29 and for me it seems the years rolled by so fast that I didn’t get the chance to make every minute count. And that sucks. Between all that this has meant that I have had to go through some pretty decent challenges that sort of redefined me and make me know how being a 20-something can set the tone for living a great life. These are some of the things everyone in their late 20s knows so well. And you know why we know these things? Because we have passed through the period of expectations and growth, we are now becoming who we should be.
1. A lot of people are full of it. Promises will be made and many of them won’t be kept. Even by the people you thought were great.
2. Certain friends will pick money, sex and status over you. Well those friendships were never made to last.
3. You will have your heart broken. You will love some people and unfortunately they may not feel the same way towards you.
4. Not everything will turn out okay. If you thought you will be living the dream life by now, wake up to some realities. It won’t always act out as planned.
5. You have to learn to speak smartly. You don’t need to win every argument or say everything that comes to your head.
6. You will know that only your parents can love you unconditionally. Truthfully everyone else is after a piece of the pie. But your parents want you to be great.
7. You can never have it all. You will fail and sacrifice some things to live the life you are meant to live.
8. Nothing comes easy. Yes it does take hard work, perseverance and patience to get those things that you desire.
9. You have to become more positive. This singular quality and truth can take you places.
10. Knowledge is never gotten only from school. Life itself can teach you so much more.
11. The best choices you make are the ones you have said No to.
12. There is joy and accomplishment in taking a break from work and being with those you truly care about.
13. You have to forgive. There is no success in resentment and grudges.
14. Failure is in giving up. Success is in staying the whole nine yards.
15. The best thing you can be proud of is your own self-worth. Really there is nothing to brag about after all.
16. Not everyone will like you. It is better they don’t.
17. In a world of such media frenzy and information overload everyone will seem to have an opinion. But it is an opinion, it is never a fact.
18. You have to believe in yourself. That is your trademark and your currency to getting anything you really want.
19. Being in a relationship is a full time job. You can’t afford to be in it simply for the thrill. That will get you fired. Be in a relationship because it can make a positive influence in your life and in the life of the other person.
20. Observe more and talk less. This is the best way to interact with others.
21. Many people don’t care. If you can find a handful of people who do, please cherish them. Because that handful is all that you need.
22. Pursue a career that you love. It will keep you going beyond a paycheck.
23. If you are in your late 20s and you have not figured it out, it is okay. Even some persons at the age of 40 who seem to have it all most times feel that they don’t.
24. Don’t start what you won’t be able to finish.
25. The best things that will happen to you don’t happen in an instance, it takes time.
