You just hit the 30 mark and you feel that you don’t have your life together yet. All because you are constantly hearing and reading about your 20s being the period where you either build your foundation or destroy it.

But let me tell you one thing: You are still here and you can start over.

Got it? Nice, let’s move on.

I also find myself questioning if I’m on the right path, either professionally or personally. But one thing I don’t allow myself to do — and you should too — is to undermine what I have achieved so far.

It is ok to have doubts. You don’t have to be a CEO by the time you hit 30 to make it in life. You are allowed to switch careers, have a change of heart and do something new with your life!

There is no specific timeline you should follow. Time works differently for everyone. There will also be different aspects that influence how you go about your life.

Maybe you were forced to work from an early age due to your family struggling financially. You helped them pay the bills and now you have a somewhat stable life but feel like it ain’t quite what you are looking for?

Good! It’s time to try something new. Maybe you even start a new business based on the experience you acquires since!

Don’t feel trapped by your age. You can be 70 and still go skydiving.

Inspired by a fellow creator, I decided to challenge myself to publish 100 short-form articles within January. This is article number 6.
