How to Get Over Feeling You Have Yet to Achieve Enough – Vol. 477, Nov. 22, 2018
I received this question on Quora, a forum where people ask and answer questions. There are so many young adults who feel that they haven’t achieved enough at their current age, usually 30 years old and younger.
First, understand that there isn’t any “right” age to achieve things as we are all on our own journey. I am 57 years old and was so behind my peers after college graduation due to health issues. It was certainly frustrating, but now looking back, I have more than made up for it in terms of the magnificent relationships, amazing adventures all over the world, and having innovated in specific areas of my profession of hypnotism. These all occurred in my 40’s and later.
Currently, I am going for a masters degree in medical sociology, marrying my love of world cultures of all sorts with medical and psychiatric knowledge.
So long as you dig deep inside yourself to live your values and beliefs, doing those things that matter to you, you are ahead of those who are living the average boring work-a-day life. Many marry too early, (I did, unfortunately) to have the marriage bring grief. Many have kids before they have a chance to explore the world, never able to do so with the expense and responsibility of raising kids.
There is never a rush to do anything in life. All there is, is time to explore your own interests, your own values and beliefs and create a life based on that, because the truth of the matter is that most people are miserable – doing jobs they don’t like and get little to no fulfillment from, and staying in marriage that perhaps aren’t healthy because the idea of being married, was more alluring then actually doing the real work involved in being present for another person and allowing them to be there for you in the same manner. It takes maturity to do this well. My advice: wait till you are 30 years old before getting married so that you know who you are and attract a person who is aligned with your values and beliefs while sharing some of your interests. If you don’t want kids, don’t have them, as you can’t give them back! They deserve your unconditional love, care, and interest each and every day!
So, dig deep and allow yourself all the time you need to create something amazing for yourself. Realize that 80% of the things you try, won’t work out, and that is okay – it’s called research! As long as you keep your curiosity about the world, you can make it through and enjoy the days that make up your life, which is known as, ‘Creating your life the way you want it.’
