10 tips for thirty-somethings from those in their forties
A few weeks after his thirtieth birthday, writer and entrepreneur Mark Manson asked subscribers to his blog over the age of 37 to share their life experiences from their 30s to 40s. Combining all the responses he received, Mark received an impressive sample of collective wisdom.
1. Start saving for old age now, without delay. Start saving as early as possible.
2. Start taking care of your health now, without delay. Your mind thinks you are 10-15 years younger than the real age of your body. Your health will go faster than you think, and you won't even notice it.
3) Don't talk to people who treat you badly. Learn to say no to people, actions and commitments that have no value in your life.
4. be good to those you care about.
5. You can't have it all - focus on doing what you're really good at. Life is all about compromise. You sacrifice one thing to get another, and you can't have both together. Accept that.
6. Don't be afraid to take risks, you can still make a difference. Many have noticed that society requires us to "make up our minds" by the age of 30 - with a career, marital status, financial situation, etc. But that's not true. In fact, dozens of emails sent in literally begged you not to let societal expectations of 'adulthood' stop you from taking risks and starting over.
7. You must continue to grow and develop. You have two assets whose loss you cannot make up for: your body and your mind. Most people stop developing and working on themselves after 20. Most thirty-somethings are too busy to worry about self-development. But if you're one of the few who keep learning, develop your mindset and take care of your mental and physical health, you'll be light years ahead of your peers by the time you're 40.
8. No one understands what they are doing. Get used to it. Unless you're already dead - mentally, emotionally or socially - you can't predict your life five years in advance. It won't go the way you expect it to go. So stop assuming you can plan ahead, stop agonising over what's happening now because it's all going to change anyway, and get over the desire to control the direction of your life.
9. Invest in your family - it's worth it. Spend more time with your loved ones. When you grow up, your relationships change, and how exactly they change is up to you.
10. Be kind to yourself, respect yourself. Be a little selfish and do something nice for yourself every day, something else every month and something wonderful every year.
Good night
