Ok, just to clarify I'm past my 20s and now well into my 30s and frankly speaking being
in your 30s isn't all that different to being in your 20s other than you have more responsibilities
to care for and, hopefully, are a little more mature.
However, that's also the point, in your 20s you're young and free to try and do new things
as a young adult.
Therefore, in this video we look at 5 things you should do while in your 20s...
1.
Chase Your Dream - Part of the problem when you're in your
20s is that you've often been put into a situation where you have a lot of freedom you didn't
have in your teens, but don't know how to use that freedom
- In addition to this, chances are that you get a lot of pressure to finish your studies
and start your career, as this is the formal path to success
- However, take a step back, understand which direction you want your life to take and start
working to living that life, even if it means you have to do something part time on the
side - The fact is, for most of us our 20s are
the ideal time to start this pursuit, as we don't yet have the responsibilities you'll
get later in life and yet have the ability to make your own decisions
2.
Live On Your Own - Part of the great benefit on living on your
own and taking on the responsibilities that come with it, is that you learn to be independent
and less dependent on others - While living on your own is one of the best
ways to do this, it isn't the only way, as you can live at home with your parents and
still be independent - The key is to make sure you learn to be
self sufficient, learning how to care for yourself and take on responsibilities you
will need to throughout the course of your life
- Most of all, it builds a massive amount of confidence, helping you realise just how
capable you are and learning to deal with issues that may arise
3.
Open Your Mind - Chances are when you're in your 20s you'll
start developing a number of opinions on a number of subjects in the world, that can
relate to various things, this is normal - However, one common trend is that a lot
of people in their 20s get stuck with their opinion and fixated on changing the world
around them to fit with that viewpoint, closing off other ideas and views
- Instead, learn to keep an open mind, focusing instead on asking questions and learning,
all of which serves to help you expand your mind
- Even if you don't agree with someone about something, at least try to understand their
perspective and views, the discussion might change your view, or at the very least open
up your mind about other factors you may not have considered
4.
Invest - Most of us don't think too far ahead when
in our 20s, often focusing on the present and figuring things such as investing in a
retirement plan or just in stocks can wait - However, by learning to invest early you
give yourself an advantage in terms of time about how you might earn money for the long
term - Many investments, such as those made in
dividend stocks, can provide an income stream throughout the life of the investment, which
minimises risks later on in life - Smart investments in your 20s will serve
you huge benefits, not least financial security, as you grow and even offer you opportunities
you may not have had otherwise
5.
Focus On You - As previously mentioned, your 20s are often
the time in your life where you have the most freedom and as in the last point, you should
start to invest - The greatest investment a person can make
is in themselves, whether it be learning new skills or spending time caring for the health
and wellbeing - Doing this sets you up for greater success
in life, helping you to grow as an individual and focus on what will help you achieve your
goals and dreams - So if you're in your 20s, focus on yourself,
focus on having a growth mindset and focus on using the opportunities you have to chase
your dream
