So many of us have lost it before we clock 30 years of age, while some are still in their early 20s or late 20s, something can still be done right. From my very own end, I remembered when i clocked 18, its still looks like yesterday, yes just like a flash back to yesterday, I graduated from high school, what we can also call secondary school. I was so full of energy to tackle whatever is ahead of me in life, so while in the quest to further education into college, i decided to engage myself into some menial jobs so as not to remain idle, like they say; an idle hand is a devils workshop.
Without further ado, I chased gaining admission into the college for 5 years, and during these years i was engaged with working in factories which i think blinded me to see opportunities that abounds which can also make me self sufficient. But foolish me, i was religiously and blindfolded following what my parent wants me to do, they wanted me to be an accountant by all means while inside of me i wanted to be somebody and something else.
My 18-28 years of age was a massive decade, and was full of adventure of life, full of future doubt, thinking and wondering day in day out of whom i was, who i want to be and what do i really want to do in life, a confused young guy you think? Yes i was confused, didn't know what to do because of my parents. Now i am above 30 and flashed back on what i have lost and what i should've done while in my 20s.
These are the things I've learnt about life through the process of growing;
Slow and steady consistency is the most powerful driver of growth.
When you are younger you want things, and as you get older, you just feel thankful for friends and family.
Achievement can actually fool you, but how you live your life and treat your craft is actually all that matters.
Material rewards are both amazingl and can whisk away in a short while.
You dont break down in a day, you break down little by little, day by day, week by week, months by months, year by year.
Not everyone would have to be their own boss.
You can't know how things would turn out. You may only know whether or not you are in for the game for adventures.
Anything meaningful in life requires a long time investment. For example Relationship, projects, self realization.
One of the most valuable thing you can off any person is a genuine connection that could lift him or her up.
In every difficult situation you find yourself, first and foremost try to find the root of the root instead of ranting and complaining.
I also learnt that in the beginning you create for yourself only, as you progress in life you create for others and lastly in the end you aim to do both at the same time.
Most importantly, who you are is much more important than what you do.
Your healing will awaken those around you, and at the same time, your reactions can hurt.
Working towards and becoming a millionaire is not all its cracked up to be.
And also, confidence is a reflection of how much you trust yourself.
The more successful you become, the more opportunity you will be offered and so many times you would be forced to say No.
Who you are is already enough,the more you can lean into that, the more attractive you will become.
The perfect time never comes, everyday is your perfect day.
Don't be cracked up, you are never too old to do things you loved to do when you were a kid.
You have to stop measuring success over a period of a day, or weeks, or months. And start measuring over the course of years like 2-5years.
I also learnt that the true meaning of love is the ability to grow together.
Friends can be made in a variety ways, so ask yourself do you want friends who makes you better or friends who are just there.
Patterns and situations always repeat themselves, your job is to catch them, and change them if you want a different result.
In the world we are that's becoming more digitally connected, focus on each other sides is becoming a great competitive advantage.
We tends to stop reading as we get older , and in the real actual sense its a shame on us.
Destination doesn't exist, what matters is how you feel in this moment.
We are all on our own different path, and it's not your job to tell other people how to live their life. So many times it's considered a waste of time.
Ten years is a very long time, decide what you really want to do now.
Now I have woken up to the reality and im here sharing my experience with you so you won't also fall victim. Use your head now!
I still have a long way to go I mean I'm not 30 yet and I'm still at a very young age, teenage life
