A few days ago, I published the first part of the 20 valuable lessons you must learn in your mid twenties, and I want to thank you all for checking it out and showing me some love on my website as a whole. It means the world to me to share my thoughts with you all and I love the way you all embrace it. As promised, here is the second part of the blogpost to help you master your challenges in life while growing up.
11. INVEST IN YOURSELF
Investing in yourself to achieve a personal goal is another great goal to set for yourself in your adulthood. You can start investing in building a small business for yourself. You can also, work on your personal and professional development. I would personally like to invest some more time to improve my public speaking skills and to go the gym more often this year. These are some of the ways you can start reaching your own goals, as well as learn new skills and techniques that can help you to become the best version of yourself.
12. CREATE A MONTHLY/WEEKLY BUDGET
You don’t always need to create an excel sheet for this, but it’s important to have a weekly or A monthly budget to limit your spending habits. This kind of discipline is a great way to avoid overspending in general. A rough spending estimate is always a great start. You will be shocked how much you can save with that mindset.
13. FOCUS ON A POSITIVE MINDSET
Should I start with discussing the power of our minds, or the power of speaking things into existence? This is a very broad subject I only recently learned that our minds attract the energy we put out there, which made the idea of jinxing and not speaking bad things into existence sound so real to me. No matter what you believe in, it’s important to have a positive mindset in life because negativity has so much power than we think. It can cause the mind to constantly see the world in such a bad light. This can cause us so much stress, anxiety, and depression. We should aspire to be the energy we attract and manifest good things into our lives. I’m no doctor, but try it for yourself and see what I mean.
14. TALK TO GENUINE PEOPLE FOR HELP
Those who care about us matter, and it’s okay to be vulnerable around them when you need to. Enjoy life with those who give you less stress and let it all out around the right people. I am at the point in my life where I can happily say that I am around some special people who just don’t stress me out. I don’t need any validation, nor do I need to be a different type of person around them. I am simply myself and also able to help them when they are also in need. In all honestly, I am just so grateful to these special people in my life. Trust me, people who value you just won’t take you for granted. I have been around some very few people like that for years now and I know this for a fact!

15. ACCEPT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE, THEN MOVE ON
Trust me, holding on to something you want but can never have will be the death of you if you just don’t let it go. You end up working hard in hopes to bring everyone together but that’s not the goal for every person. Why keep the same friends around if they never cared for you? Why want that relationship with someone who could care less about the relationship they have with you? How many times do you want to be only one to try harder so many times? Please keep that energy for someone who actually cares about you, and for people with similar goals in the aspect. Again, you don’t want to be the only one working on something that should be coming from both sides in any relationship. It will make you less stressed. Learn to accept that people aren’t living their lives hoping for the world to be all rainbows again, so it’s very important to live yours anyway.
16. START LIVING FOR YOURSELF
The very moment you realize you’ve been living for someone else, you may feel like you wasted most of your life, which usually isn’t a good feeling. Everyone has their own life just like you do. Don’t let them live their lives through you. Avoid societal pressure and focus on your own pace in life. Do you and stay true to yourself.
17. FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY
A very popular quote that Patricia Bright uses, and I’m all for it. She has once stated that the only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out there and actually do it. I have realized that I love change but I get scared as soon as I start noticing it. Try embracing the beauty of it all because it’s the only way you can fully learn about the rest of the world and also get you out of your comfort zone.
18. FAILURE IS PART OF LIFE
It’s all part of life. You will get through it as long as you keep on trying. Find new ways to succeed in something you truly want and you will eventually find a way to reach that goal.
19. TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY THEY ARE, NOT THE WAY YOU ARE
Having expectations for someone who plays a certain role in your life is very common. However, we also need to learn to understand that they are humans too and are therefore imperfect. Some of us have had to deal with this truth because we sometimes want to be treated a certain way by our close friends or even family members. We get disappointed when they mistreat us, but in those instances, we need to start seeing them as what they are, not who they should be to us, or who you wanted them to be. As the saying goes, when people show you who they are, believe them. Actions speak louder than words. This is definitely one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn. It can put you through a stage of grief where you have to mourn off your relationship with someone very important in your life. Stay strong. You got this.
20. TAKE IT EASY
This is something I have been saying to myself a lot lately. As someone in your mid twenties, you are still very young and don’t need to be stressing so much in your life. Just try to live in the moment in the process of learning who you truly are.
At this point in my life, I just want to be more happy and less stressed. I want to have fun and focus on my success and loved ones more than ever. I want to take good care of myself, both mentally and physically. I also want respect and loyalty around me. I am still in the process of learning about my self worth and I love it here. I hope this post helps you to find the best ways you can also use to grow as a person, and to live the good life that you truly deserve.
