I want to share how important it is to not give up on yourself. When looking at your life, look to the future. What are your long-term goals? How are you going to realistically achieve these goals? Are these goals even realistic, or are you envisioning a dream world?
Too often, young adults around my age try to keep up with everyone else. Instead of focusing on themselves and their goals in life, they spend their time and money on things that ultimately are not important.
Make a list of what you want to accomplish in the next year, next 5 years, and then the next 10 years. What do you need to eliminate from your current life to allow you to fulfill these long-term goals?
People are surprised to find out how much money they are spending every week to keep up with the trends and the friends. My advice is to stop caring about everyone else and focus one you. Instead of spending $50 on dinner and drinks every Thursday, have a movie night from home and save that money.
Focus on your long-term goals and continue to have a growth mindset. In life, you will never stop learning. Learn what is important to you and stick to it, live by it. This is your life… you make the rules.
