Many people experience life in different ways but in the end, there are certain lessons that all of us learn in common. These are not just any advice but they are what the majority of the early thirties learn from life experience.
1. Screw The Society
Everybody would have once felt that we live in a judgemental society. Some people criticize you for every little thing no matter how good you do or are. Constructive criticism is good otherwise not. Avoiding them makes your life stress-free.
2. Marry Only When You Want
People view girls/women to be married at a certain age and stress the families of the girl. But marriage should be a step taken when you are in love and decide to go forward with it and not a necessity.
3. Mental Health Is As Important As Your Physical Health
Yes Yes Yes!! I can’t stress this fact enough. Only when you are mentally fit, you can live a successful and peaceful life.
4. You Can Start Over Your Career/Life
Yup, I learned it the hard way. When we grow up, we are taught to be in a certain career or in a certain way. But it is very much needed to start over again if need be.
5. No One Can Change Your Life, Only You Can
It is our sole responsibility to take care of ourselves. We have our family/loved ones to be there for us but only when we decide to change the real change happens.
6. Time Is Money
I learned this later in my life. We all focus on making money but never really know the importance of time. Money can be earned anytime in life, but if there is anything that you cannot get back is ‘Time’.
7. It’s OK To Fail
Failures are pillars of success. It is entirely right. Only when we fail, we know what not to do. Have you ever seen a successful person not failed in his/her pursuit? No! Each of us has failed at one point in life and it’s totally fine. Just make sure we learn from it.
8. You Don’t Have To Compete
Healthy competition is fun. But not when it bothers you like hell. All of us have our unique path which we can only travel. Just take life as it goes.
9. Travel As Much As You Can
You want to have different and exciting life experiences then traveling is your best bet.
10. Today's Present Is In Your Hands
Being in the present is what all of us forget. We strive for the future but never really think about what is we have now.
11. Meditate Once In Your Life
This is one piece of advice that intrigued me when I read one of Robin Sharma's books. And I tested it out by enrolling in Yoga classes. It is a life-changing experience to experience the bliss of meditation.
12. No One Thinks About You
Yup. No one cares about you or has the time to think about you other than your loved ones. Everyone is busy in their own life.
13. Learn To Say ‘No’
It is easier to say ‘No’ when needed rather than telling yes and pondering upon it. At some places, it help/saves you a lot.
14. Chose Your Inner Circle Wisely
I have read in many motivational books that we tend to imitate those with whom we hang out. Hence, choosing them wisely is definitely a life-saving skill.
15. Importance Of Fasting
Dr. David Sinclair has been on the talk for a while on reverse aging. One thing he claims us to follow is Intermittent Fasting or rather Fasting in general. I fasted for two days last month, and the process was thought-provoking. I have never been this active in life. My focus has increased and had quality sleep during fasting.
16. Quality Sleep Is Rare But Precious
All of us work round the clock. Be it a job or household work and never really get the complete 6–8 hours sleep. Sleep harms our mood and energy. Only when we have quality sleep we are energetic the next day.
17. Success Re-Defined
Success is not about making money. It is about how happy or peaceful you are. A poor man can be happy with what he has when compared to a rich person who doesn’t have peace in life.
18. Investment Is A Must
Financial education should be one thing that our school system should include. Some of us learn financial advice themselves and some not. But in the long run, investing your money and making money work for you can help you retire in early life.
19. Perfection Is A Myth
All of us strive to be perfect. Perfect in body, perfect in school grades, perfect in the job. Guess what!! None of us are perfect. We all have our own flaws which do not matter. Just keep making better in life, and that's some progress.
20. Procrastinating Is Your Only Enemy
It can’t stress enough the enemy that we have in ourselves. It is “Procrastination”. Only when we overcome that we can truly strive to move forward with our goals.
21. Be Grateful
Gratitude is an important quality that we need to possess. Only when we are grateful, we thank the universe for its abundance and at the same time know the worth of the Life we have.
22. Networking Is A Mandatory Skillset
In this digital age, things have changed. The majority of the world population are skilled but those who network constantly are successful. They are being provided with plenty of opportunities.
23. Mindset Is Everything
Anybody can have money. But having money and being with the wrong mindset won’t push you forward in life. Gone are the days, people judge you by your skills or money. These days, it all about the mindset. Building up a positive mindset will move you forward in life or adversity.
24. Never Give Up
I recently listened to Peter Sage’s Ted Talk on how to be happy when life doesn’t go the way you want. In the video, he explains how he never gave up on his life and strived for success. Do check out the video and it’s truly massive.
25. You Can Have Kids Anytime In Life
Yes, ladies!! You can!! Bringing up a child is a blessing and a responsibility. Just make sure it is always the best environment for the kid.
26. Keep A Check On What You Speak
What you speak is what you are. Always keep a check on what you speak because making a nasty comment (as a joke) on yourself or others can be a reality later in life. Speak positively and see how life changes.
27. Change Is Inevitable
I am sure everybody is aware of this but never really accepts this. We should all get accustomed to changes.
28. This Too Shall Pass
Every good experience and bad experience is temporary. If you are in a bad phase of life, just remember it’s temporary and things can change anytime. Similarly, if you are in a good stage in life, things can change as well and make the most of it.
29. Nobody Is Self-Made
Human beings are social species. And every one of us needs another to rely upon and strive in life. I have heard people saying self-made millionaire and that's not true. However, there would be some people who would have helped them along the way to reach success.
30. Age Is Just A Number
Age is just a number and a kid can be mature enough and an old person can be childish enough. It’s all in the matter of what life gives you to experience. Some of these lessons I learned the hard way whereas others I learned by reading some wonderful books.
