Getting hooked on the party lifestyle. Everybody who's been in their 20s knows that this phase of your life can be wild. And there's nothing wrong with having fun, drinking a lot, meeting cool and interesting people or even doing various and extensive research with different substances. But sadly, a large percentage of people who enter their 30s have made a habit out of using drugs or drinking excessively in their 30s. This will wreak havoc on their physical and mental health.
Believing that hedonism is happiness. Being able to travel everywhere, drink expensive champagne, eat and expensive restaurants flecks with jewelry and designer clothing, etc. Only looks good on Instagram. That's not a guarantee that you're really truly happy. Many rich people are emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. While many of the poor lead fulfilling happy lives materialism and consumption are often the opposite of true happiness.
Not getting rich. Didn't I just tell you that money can't buy happiness Of course money can buy happiness. Happiness is not dependent on how much money you have, but on how you communicate with yourself but having no money or having to break your back in a job that you hate just to pay your bills is also the fastest route to a very dark and painful place. Become financially independent ASAP so that you don't have to spend two thirds of your life working.
Not getting strong, muscular, and healthy in your 20s. You tend to take your body and its youthful strength and vitality for granted. That's one of the biggest mistakes that you could make. If you haven't made healthy eating and regular training a habit in your 20s just wait for your 30s you'll really start to notice the aches and pains and the excess body fat piling up. You'll feel less energy and vigor. You might even develop some diseases that you easily could have prevented.
Not learning from the experience of others. It's often said that experience is the best teacher but it must not be your own experience. A driver with no spare tire is careful while driving so as not to puncture the only ones he has in uncalculated driving, so you want to replicate that safety habit. The best way to do so is by inquiring from other drivers that have gone ahead of you or those who have gone through the road you're presently driving on for guidance. The failure to do this early enough in life will leave you with limited options of a smooth sail.
Not taking responsibility for your life's finances. These costly mistakes have wrecked the lives of many, many, even in their 20s still depend solely on their parent for survival and also see their parent responsible for the outcome of their life. They don't wake up early to take responsibility for their finances and lifestyle. They don't start early to source for means of income either to support themselves or their family they see and make their parent guardians and other relatives responsible for their finances and lifestyle. Wake up and give desired shape to your life.
Not having a defined or stable standard direction in life. It's often said that those who do not have a stand or standard to live by usually fall for anything that comes their way. Most people in their 20 seconds follow every trend they see in social media and around them. Without taking time to analyze the ripple effect of their actions. This unchecked habit has crippled much youth in their prime. They're tossed to and fro by every wind of fashion and environmental change. They end up falling prey to their predators and regretting it at last. You can't continue living like a chameleon and expect to have an outstanding life. If you really want to enjoy life in due time, prove all things that come your way and hold on to the profitable.
Little or no commitment to personal growth. The youthful stage of one's life ought to be a time primarily dedicated to personal growth and development. A tree that intends to last long and bear more fruit in its old age takes time to grow its route downward and the branches upward life has always answered to the principle of sowing and reaping that's abnormal to reap what you never sowed into your life. If you don't want to reap the hardness of life later on in life, take time to deliberately commit yourself to personal growth and development the issue with most people in their 20s that they want to live life first before committing to personal growth. They end up not lasting long in their desired lifestyle.
Not starting out early in life. Most young persons in their 20 seconds allow the I'm too young mentality to limit their early progress in line. They succumb to the despise of use for positive generational change. They allow the shouting inside talks of others to limit the expression of their potentials early enough. Never allow any man to look down on you because you're young. They don't know what your Creator has heavily deposited in you. I'd like to let you know that. You're not too young to become a multimillionaire. You're not too young to start that business of your dream. You're not too young to become a king and a sought after person in your industry. You're not too young to start that ministry of your calling. You're not too young to start initiating and building the godly relationship in home. You're not too young to start implementing that proven idea of yours.
Your write up is great. Many adult missed the track and their route during their youth age. They believed that there was time while not knowing that time waits for nobody.
When a person start early to plan for life and how future will be, is easy for the person to grow. I know that sometimes there are some obstacle that affect or obstruct persons' plan, but people should not relent or think of that. It is good to focus on the things that matters in life at youth, be creative, work hard and have savings for the future. Youth should not allow the luxurious things of life to distract them plan and work for their future.
