The 20s is quite a weird decade.

The 20s is quite a weird decade.

We are surrounded by the most people we have ever been surrounded by.

And yet constantly feel alone.

And at 42 I realize that a large part of the reason is these self-imposed beliefs we live our 20s by.

A set of rules that we feel are fixed.

They are not.

This world...

Until you don't feel successful within!

"I need lots of money. NOW๐Ÿค‘"

Most of us, especially those who grew up with a lack of money, want to get rich. Quickly.

We optimize for that.

We run after money.

Fall for short-term gains.

Money is then a side effect.

"Health and sleep can wait๐Ÿ˜ด"

We pull out all-nighters. Sleep odd hours.

Eat junk. Eat odd hours. Abuse our body.

Because we believe there is a tomorrow when we will fix everything.

Which were frankly desires and had no basis.

"This year is make or break for meโŒ›"

I remember feeling this way every year in my 20s.

This year is when I had to do it.

Else I won't be able to.

"I am going to change the world๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ"

We all dream of something big, meaningful, and purposeful for our life.

We pick that desire; make it into a goal.

Only to be disappointed if it doesn't happen.
