We both know that most of our accomplishments and goals are always based on goals and age. It's better for you to know what you should do in your early twenties for you to achieve the best in your life.
The age brackets of early twenties to thirties are the most productive times where someone can achieve what is better of his or her life. It is in few cases where people succeed in life with age above forties. What I'm trying to say here, even these people who succeed in life with their ages above forties, hear out their stories, they will tell you that their journey started in early twenties. So, if you want to make most out of your life then you should start in your early twenties.
People ask themselves what should they do in their early twenties. Anyway don't worry I got you covered. I have a list of things that people should do in their early twenties. It may be limited but the truth is that any principled person has already outlined what to do in their early twenties. If you are a person living without goals for real you are doomed! Living without goals is just like a driver driving without a specific destination. I bet you don't want to be that person.
Let me go directly to the list of the 5 things you should do in your early twenties. Perhaps, you may have more. Don't hesitate to leave your ideas in the comments section. This is what you should do in your early twenties;
1. Enjoy yourself to the fullest.
I just want to be clear enough. You have to know that if you won't enjoy your life in your early twenties then it is probably not possible for you to enjoy it later. The reason to why I'm saying is that as life goes on more responsibilities tend to come up. The more responsibility you have the lesser you are likely going to enjoy yourself. So, it is in your early twenties you seem likely to have less responsibility on your shoulders.
Do everything you have desired to do. If you are that person interested in parting then I guess this is the right age for you fully party. This age isn't going to come back you know that, right? Once you have passed your twenties don't expect to come back again in your twenties. You can come back only by doing the things you would have done in your twenties but trust me the energy won't be the same.
I know you may think for you to enjoy yourself you have to be rich. That isn't true. It's not a must for you to be rich to enjoy yourself. Enjoy your time by doing the things you like. For me I would probably do most of my writings and update my blog regularly, because that is what I enjoy doing. I would go to the sea shore and find an amazing spot. Spend the rest of my time just watching the tides moving to and from.
It will be a good thing you have someone who supports you by your side. He or she can help you spend your time so freakishly good.
2. Identify your interest.
It's in your early twenties that it is recommended for you to find what your interest is based on. Why I'm I saying this? This is the age bracket where you have most of the energy. It's in this age bracket that you can explore different things and find the one that can suit you well. It is so hard to know what you like sometimes when you have so many things in your bucket. Have you ever realised, you have about five careers and both you find them so cool for you. Here, it will be so difficult for you to choose.
The only thing you will have to do is to try different things until you can that suits you well and you can achieve the best out of it. This takes time and energy. So, this should be done in your early twenties. We have situation where by someone rushes to do something and later in your forties you regret having chose what you do currently. You have to know that, that has enough potential to deprive you your happiness.
It is very important to choose carefully what you want to do for the rest of your life. This is because our happiness stems from what we enjoy doing. A point of advice. Don't choose anything because you have seen your friend doing it, don't choose anything that you will be doing for the rest of your life because of the amount of salary you will get from it. Choose something that gives you happiness and comfort in doing it. We can only do that if we identify our interests carefully in our early twenties.
3. Follow up your career.
It's in your early twenties where you should follow up your career carefully. This is the age where your brain is still active and you have the ability to grab the best out of your career. You have plenty of time during your early twenties, you have much energy too. In most cases if you fail to achieve the best out of it then the probability for you to score it best in your forties will be a quarter. So, make sure to follow your career so carefully and give it your best. It's your career that mostly determines the kind of person you are going to be. If you mess it up in your early twenties then it will be so tough to make it right in your thirties and forties.
I can give you some few tips on how you should go about with your career. I'm not a scholar, this comes from my own logic. From most of the experiences that I came I cross I know what is best and what is least best. I talked about enjoying yourself earlier. It is very important to enjoy yourself and also check carefully on what you are aiming at. Don't over enjoy and forget that you have a career to focus on.
The enjoyment you do, have to be of limits. I know you are smart enough to choose what's best for you. Avoid toxic enjoyment, or anything that you know it will interfere with your future career. Enjoy yourself but have limits. Don't loose yourself on the way. We both know that enjoyment tend to be so sweet, no focus or energy is needed for you to enjoy yourself which is completely different from following up your career. It needs sacrifice and most of your focus.
You have deprive yourself every pleasure and sit tight to do what is need of you. You can refrain yourself you know, just for a little time and later you will enjoy to the fullest, or you can choose to enjoy fully and later in your thirties to suffer the choice is on you.
4. Work smart to secure your future.
After you have followed up your career successfully. What you have to do is to work smart. When you have achieved the best out of your career it is not yet done. You still have a lot to do in your early twenties. You need to maintain your image and bring a positive impression to the people around you.... To be successful you need people in your life. For you to have people you have to work smart and secure your future. Remember that, if you can't maintain your career, you will lose it all.
Let me tell you how you can secure your future by working smart. You have to establish connections in your field. Networking and connecting is another aspect of working smart. You can acquire what you want easily if you have a good connection. Don't push away people for you to succeed you will still need them to carry on your name around. You can't do this by yourself you have to be smart.
Don't do anything without a plan. That is also working smart. Do what you want to do at specific time, at the right measurement. Don't be so hard on yourself. This haven't started with you. Many people were at the same position as you are. So, take it easy. Everything now revolves around your decision. The good thing of being smart is that you won't get exhausted which is completely different from working hard.
5. Be careful with the people you get attached to.
When you enjoy yourself, identifying your interests and as you follow up your career you will meet different people along the way. You have to choose carefully who you allow in your life. Not all the people will have the same agenda as you have. Some people will seek to destroy you, others will seek to make your life hard, others will need to use you and others will want you to accompany them because you are both on the same goal.
Choose carefully the people you tend to invite in your life. Don't accept to be indulged in unhealthy relationships. Don't let people manipulate you, you are better than that. It is in early twenties where most of the people's lives turn into messes. That happens because of the choice they make when interacting with these people along their journey. Don't let anyone divert you from your course. You have a life to make and a stable future to attain.
We need people who can support us and help us to make through in this life. This life is pretty hard we need a hand. Every possible one that we may get. We have to choose people that have the same intention as we do. The only thing that should matter to you when choosing these people is what you observe from them. If they are on the same journey as you are in then invite them in.
Make the best in your early twenties. Don't focus on things that will lead you astray. You have no one to blame for your future but yourself. The choices you make in your early twenties matters a lot on how your future will look like. Don't screw it up. Do you have anything that you need to do in your early twenties?
