3 alerts for early 20s

20's is the most essential phase of one's life. Being filled with the impactful transformations, rocking movements, phase from making blunder mistakes to learning their respective lessons, 20's eventually determine the ways you shall be going through next decade of your life. 

While life keeps moving and every phase of life from childhood to old age has it's own process to keep you moving on the path, one often feels lack of guidance or uncertainty on what to be followed and approached to make themselve better and opt for the strategies that will shape their journey upward and live a less uncertain life ahead.

I, being a 26 years old, had a lot of marvellous experience in the first half of my 20s and still going through different experiences as I grow through the other phase of my 20s. While I am happy with myself today, I do feel I knew or realized few things earlier that I do now. I feel these are significant truths an early aged 20s should know so they can avoid making some mistakes that people in that age often do. 

1. Try and Experiment: 

While the world around younger people is much competitive, a lot of them turn out to be feeling like they are not good enough to chase bigger opportunities. Being brilliant often seems so normal that if you are an average person, it feels like you should have been more talented to be able to achieve your dreams. This might stop them from chasing bigger dreams with a hope to avoid facing the fear of failure and uncertainties caused by it. This might be one of the biggest mistake you will do when you are young. Always first try, chase & learn whatever you want. Trying may bring failure or success but not trying can bring you regret for lifetime. You cannot decide whether it is made for you without attempting and improving. You are never bad to chase your dreams. 

2. Do not hurry: 

Young age is too bad to be in hurry for getting everything then and there. You often miss good things if you are not patient enough to achieve them. Whatever you wish to do, first analyse it carefully to know it's depth. Often we compare ourself with others and crave to get things early as possible. This hurry may turn out to be harmful for you if you could not achieve your expectation in the minimum time. Give yourself time, be slow but accurate, keep on doing and improving. Things will happen on their time. 

3. Don't try praising everyone: 

Though this has to be applicable to everyone regardless of how old they are. But as we grow older,  we become mature and realize that we have wasted so much time paying attention to things not worthy enough. In early 20s, people often have a vision of making good impression in public and being praised and marked right in other people eye for no reason. For this sake, we put too much effort in explaining ourself, taking image conscious actions, and sometimes faking as well to be able to fit into the box. Your time and energy is limited. Invest it into things & people that are real and good for you. For rest of the things, you really don't need to give much care. Try being  with the ones who love you unconditionally instead of falling for material and trendy things. You need to invest yourself into people who accept your flaws, try to correct you when you are wrong and give you importance.
