De Leon: Don’t get so messed up by the thought of your late 20s

AS WE arrive at 27, 28, 29, or 30, more and more of our friends will be getting married, buying homes, having kids and all the good stuff.

On the facade, it can seem like they already “made it.” Consequently, the anxiety will begin to creep in.

Then, we millennials, just like other generations will fall into the trap of gazing how far others have come and begin auditing where we are at in life, so dazed why we haven’t made it yet.

I’m sure it’s a tricky stage. Or more so, it’s a pitfall.

But the truth is, if you’re under 30, we’re just barely getting started.

I don’t know if it’s just me but a lot of people don’t realize how long life really can be for those who refuse to get stuck at mediocrity.

Yes. I’m an optimist. Thus, I’m positive that many young people today will end up living around 100 years old?---with most of those years being good, healthy years.

Hence, if you’re 30, you’ve got about 60–70 more years of life-building.

That means you could start too from zero at 30 and do nothing right for the next ten years, wake up, and you’d still have an entire lifetime worth living in front of you.

If you think about life like a basketball game, we haven’t even started the first quarter yet. We’re still playing the national anthem.

Even I feel like I’m just getting started, while turning another pogi-year old in few months.
