You're actually standing at a crossroads that few people realize.
You're no longer young enough to act recklessly, but you're not old enough to be unable to start over.
The most dangerous thing at this stage isn't failure, but rather the fear of trying.
You'll start thinking: "I don't really like this job, but it seems okay?" "I'm not sure if this path is right, but will things get worse if I switch?" So you keep dragging things out.
But I want to tell you directly: 25-32 is the time in your life when the cost of making mistakes is lowest.
You have the energy, the time, some experience, and you don't have a mortgage, children, or aging parents to weigh on you.
So now: Change jobs, learn new skills, travel, go anywhere you want to go, move to another city, start a business, fail.
Waste time on things you want to know, because you can afford to waste it now.
For many people, the most painful thing isn't failure, but knowing that they could have taken a different path back then, but didn't.
once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you'll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person.
get up.
get going.
it's now or never!
there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
get the flashlight and pave your own path because no one else is going to do it for you!
