I don't think there's any magical answer as you know. All we have is time. You can never go back once it has passed, so try not to hold on to any regrets. What's done is done you can only change what you do from now on.
There's lots of things about having goals and all that shit. I'm starting to think it's mostly bullshit to make money for people. The most important thing I've learned and have begun to understand where I missed out is not being in the present.
Those moments where you're too consumed thinking about the past or the future. Where something amazing passes you by. Every time I reflect back I cringe because I made that mistake and that I keep searching the past instead of being collectively in the now.
I can't believe the amount of stuff that gets thrown at you. How to live your life, what defines success. That begins to wear you down. You start to believe that you are really doing badly. But how can you? It's your life. You should live it as you choose.
As long as your happy within your own terms. That's the marker of a successful life.
Getting caught up of the next stage of being an adult. That never ending water fall of things to achieve. Throw that away.
Focus on the now. If you're happy doing what you're doing right now smile and continue on. If you aren't then stop what you're doing and choose to let yourself enjoy being who you are for that one moment.
Life, for most is a long, long time. Building things so you're set up for the future may make you miss out on the most fantastic things. There's always time to do the serious stuff. As long as you aren't on the cold streets at night, you're doing okay.
Give yourself more credit to achieving where you are right now. Give yourself the right to do what you want and not what anyone else says. Live life at your own pace and not what anyone else tells you.
What works for me, may not work for you. I'm not going to tell you otherwise. As long as it's your decision. That's what matters.
