The 9 mistakes you don't want to make in your 20's
I read an article a few months ago which I was totally obsessed with and I was sending it out to all my friends, 'the 20 mistakes you don't want to make in your 20's' - After being so deeply inspired by it a friend suggested that I should do a post on something just like the one I sent her!
Your 20's is the most crucial time in life to make something out of your self. It's the time where you begin to realise who you really are, and what you want to begin to do and become in the future. It's time where you start planning your future and working towards it, everyone wants success, but many of us make some mistakes which can affect our future in the long term..

1. Holding on to friends that waste your time and add no value to your life
They'll pull you right down with them if you don’t cut the fat of the group. They may have been great to you as a child, but if they no longer hold the value and inspiration that is needed for you to thrive in life, then cut them loose.
The only individuals you should be surrounding yourself with are those that challenge your ideas and motivate you to find the next solution to your problems. No, not those who shoot down your ideas with their negativity, but rather the ones who genuinely want to see you succeed no matter what you do in life.
2. Work on building your dream. Don't work just for today.
2. Work on building your dream. Don't work just for today.
Don’t do something just because it’s convenient for you today. Try challenging yourself and build your own dream instead of building someone else’s. Even if it doesn’t really make sense to you now because many of us just want to enjoy today and not really think about the future, like that little ‘yolo’ phrase which was going around it totally stole the whole idea of making something big today to which you can later enjoy comfortably. I always think of ‘work now, play later’ – RN what are you going to do with the weekly wages? DO you really deserve that easy cash? The easy vacations? What have you done to deserve it all? You will soon realise that once you’ve made it, that the money making doesn’t make you happy. It’s the journey.
A bad job is like an unhealthy relationship. Truthfully, the only reason you’re there is because it is the safest and easiest thing you know.
So do what you love and enjoy build that dream!
3. Thinking that this is the right time to fall in love
While everyone around you might be doing it, you really don’t want to fall into the trap of a relationship. It might feel like the right thing to do, but your 20s are entirely too crucial for your personal growth not for you to be focusing on fulfilling the wishes of another individual. It’s the time you need to focus on who you really are and work towards success. If that is what you want.
When you’re in university or you’ve started a new business, your future is resting on your shoulders, it is your time to shine and to meet new people. The more people you meet, the more you network, the more you will grow.. and the very last thing you need is a relationship.
You can focus on relationships once you have settled and have experienced how amazing life really is. So get out there, meet new people, test the limits and have fun. It will take you to the places you've only ever dreamed of going to!

Whether it’s talking about that girl behind her back, causing problems in someones relationship or plotting revenge against your enemies.. we must always remember that karma is the biggest beach we will ever come across.
There is nothing more true than the fact that whatever goes around comes around, and you are not immune to the cosmic forces that be. I'm not asking for you to be the angel and do no sin but don’t be surprised when reality catches back up with you and brings you to your knees. Be a good person. You’ll get further in life!
5. Forgetting that family comes first
Those who supported you before anything deserve to be taken care of when you reach your success. If you aren’t doing this for the ones you love, then you’re not doing it right. Family comes first, no matter what happens. If you work for whom you love instead of just yourself, you will get far. Respect them to earn respect from others.
6. Not caring because you only live once — that’s for fools
We all are guilty of irrational decision-making in our 20s. Fast people and fast times with money in your pocket always lead to over-extending yourself.
A life of doing whatever you like, having whatever you like and pretty much having that YOLO attitude will leave you flat on your backside. Get focused and lock into what you’re supposed to be doing. If you don’t know what that is, then you better figure it out ASAP.
7. Following the crowd instead of forging against it
You can be aware of the trends, but never follow them. If all your time is spent trying to adjust to your surroundings, you’ll get lost in the crowd all the more easily.
Success and greatness are constructed by trendsetters themselves, not those who latched on to what’s currently trending. Like starving yourself to look exactly like that model in your magazine. Temptation to be influenced by those who you aspire to be like is easy, but no one finds his or her calling while following in the footsteps of another.
8. Making all your wants in to needs
9. Thinking what you need to stop learning and growing because you've made it
The common misconception that once things are in your favor, you no longer have to put in the 3:00AM work hours is a dangerous problem. The fewer nights that you’re willing to put in the work, the fewer opportunities you will have to celebrate your achievements.
Student loans are in and we end up using it all up right away, do we think about what we actually need instead of thinking about what we want. Try to figure the between what you want and what you actually need. Make sure your priorities are in tact or you will lose your track, just how many of us are absolutely broke by the end of summer. And then we are trying to find a summer job so we can somehow make some money to then spend.. again on things we want and not need!
9. Thinking what you need to stop learning and growing because you've made it
The common misconception that once things are in your favor, you no longer have to put in the 3:00AM work hours is a dangerous problem. The fewer nights that you’re willing to put in the work, the fewer opportunities you will have to celebrate your achievements.
So basically, just try building yourself it's time for you to build and to find who you really are, explore, travel, work, meet new people and open yourself to wider opportunities, it is the only way you will learn. And then when you've made something out of yourself and you finally know who you are do whatever the hell you like!
