another and as a young adult there's
0:07

turning 30. if you ask me I don't think
0:12
turning 30 is such a Dreadful thing sure
0:15

0:17
lot more responsibility on your
0:19
shoulders and life is not just about
0:21
hanging out with friends but even then
0:23

0:25
self-reflection into your life

0:30
responsibilities fewer worries and a lot

0:48
mistakes in my life and learned new

0:54
years and if you've made mistakes too

1:00
being in your 20s to me means the adult
1:03
version of toddler years I know it
1:06
doesn't make sense but stay with me
1:08
as a young toddler a child begins to
1:11
understand life around them make
1:13
mistakes fall cry their hearts out learn
1:16
new things and new skills and overall
1:20
learn how to be human
1:22

1:25
begins to understand life a little more
1:27

1:42
your 20s or rather especially when
1:44
you're in your 20s it's the age when you
1:46
can stumble fall cry and move on but
1:51

I lost my grandmother when I was in my
6:34
teens and my grandfather when I was in
6:36
my 20s the only thing I regret about
6:39
that is that I didn't spend too much
6:40
time with my grandparents I did learn a
6:43
lot from my grandfather and that made me
6:45
write this point down
6:46
listen to those around you who have more
6:48
life experiences than you they have the
6:51
wisdom to offer that you never know you

7:39
time
7:41
16. Joy is in simple moments Life's
7:44
greatest joy isn't in the big moments
7:46
but in the small ones that come from the
7:48
littlest moments a good book you read
7:50
the perfect Sunset you gazed at and the
7:52
boisterous laughter you shared with your
7:54
loved ones that makes life count so
7:57
allow yourself to indulge a little in
7:58
life's simple moments
8:00
17. self-love is a must Embrace who you
8:04
are Flaws and All allow room for
8:06
self-love in your life as it will create
8:08
the foundation for confidence happiness
8:10
and fulfilling relationships this is a
8:13
lesson I learned the hard way so avoid
8:15
going down the same path as me and
8:17
embrace self-love and self-care today
8:19
18. work on finding your life's purpose
8:24
sometimes there will be times when you
8:26
won't know what to do in your life but
8:28
it's okay give yourself some time to
8:30
figure out what it is that matters to
8:32
you the most or makes you happier
8:34
finding your true purpose in life might
8:36
not be easy but it's the right time to
8:39
get a Kickstart on finding it
8:42
19. work hard now to be worry-free
8:45
tomorrow
8:47
my late Uncle used to tell me that if
8:49
you work hard now then later in life you
8:51
will enjoy a luxurious and worry-free
8:53
life I was too young to heed his words
8:56
but now I realize that it was wisdom
8:59
that he passed on to me
9:01
the step to achieving your dreams is in
9:03
front of you and to reach them you need
9:05
to work hard
9:06
don't let others scare you away or your
9:09
failures stop you
9:10
20. never neglect family before you'll
9:14
realize your Carefree twenties will be
9:16
gone and responsible 30s will come
9:18
leaving you little to no time for your
9:20
family you might not want to be with
9:22
your parents now but don't lose contact
9:24
with them even if they were mean to you
9:26
or never understood you the way you
9:28
wanted them to they love you as no one
9:30
else would so do not neglect them
9:35
21 health is wealth even if you're busy
9:38
take time to eat good food it's not all
9:40
about Necessities either but it's about
9:42
enjoying the little things in life and
9:45
food counts do not skip your meals go
9:47
hungry or live on instant Ramen practice
9:50
eating healthy food and keep yourself
9:51
fit 22. learn to cook for yourself
9:55
this reminds me of another lesson to
9:57
learn in your 20s learn to cook not
10:00
instant noodles
10:02
cooking is not just a fancy skill but a
10:04
survival one
10:06
you live away from home it can be hard
10:08
to get home-cooked meals and I get it
10:10
eating out might be less expensive but
10:12
in the long run it'll take a toll on
10:14
your financial health so learn to cook
10:16
now to save money and homesickness
10:19
23 put needs before wants
10:23
we all have wants that we want to be
10:25
fulfilled but our wants always make us
10:27
neglect our needs
10:29
I have learned in my twenties to put my
10:31
needs before my wants there isn't a
10:34
thing as too few clothes shoes and
10:36
whatnot
10:37
buy what you need first and if there is
10:40
enough left in your budget then give
10:42
attention to your wants
10:44
24. find your expression find the best
10:48
way to express yourself in your 20s it's
10:51
the best time to explore different
10:53
Avenues and see what expression is best
10:55
for you I found writing and voice
10:58
journaling the best but you need to
11:00
figure out what suits you venting out
11:02
painting dancing music and more are all
11:05
options you can explore
11:08
25. create a routine and stick to it
11:12
lessons from my 20s taught me to create
11:14
a routine and stick to it if you sleep
11:16
well you'll work well if you're on time
11:18
then you'll have more time to do other
11:20
things set a routine that suits you and
11:22
still gives you time for yourself
11:24
26 goal setting can be helpful
11:28
your 20s are the best time of your life
11:30
to figure out your goals in life no one
11:32
knows what they want in their 20s but we
11:34
can take some time to figure it out
11:36
right learn to set goals now to avoid
11:39
existential or midlife crises later in
11:41
your life
11:42
27. fall in love even if it ends up in a
11:45
heartbreak love is never easy at least
11:48
for me and yet my lesson to impart to
11:51
you is that fall in love it's the best
11:53
experience you can have you'll fall in
11:55
love and your heart might be broken too
11:57
let it be
11:59
heartbreak can be an experience too and
12:01
will probably help you grow your
12:02
relationship with yourself
12:05
28.
12:07
forgiveness is a virtue to never forget
12:10
if someone commits a slight against you
12:12
forgive them
12:13
if you commit a slight against someone
12:15
learn to apologize the world will not
12:18
end if you seek forgiveness it'll only
12:20
make you feel lighter and brighter 29.
12:23
your happiness is in your hands
12:25
I've often been told that I need to find
12:27
love in my 20s because my happiness
12:30
depends on it however a lesson I learned
12:32
in my 20s is that I don't need others to
12:34
be happy my happiness is in my hands and
12:37
my hands alone don't look for happiness
12:39
elsewhere just look within and you'll
12:42
find your peace
12:44
30. learn to live intentionally lastly A
