👉Knowing your “WHY” is necessary to get a better hold of your life in your 20’s
Because many circumstances will lead us to a path we don’t want to be in that if we don’t decide right now to either stop doing it or let it be, it might affect our main goal
2. Create your own life
One of the best things about being on our 20’s is the freedom to create how we want to live our life.
🟢So create in a way how you want it to be, slowly. Our 20’s is the best time to start.
3. Earn your identity capital
While the identity crisis is prevalent especially on our 20’s, it can serve a greater purpose
While having an identity crisis you can try everything you want to do, and along the way build your identity capital whether it’s for your resume.
4. Take a job with the most capital
✅Find a job that stretch your capacity so much and will serve you more, depending on what field you want to excel.

we are open with endless possibilities and just either say yes with everything or say no with everything.

8. Build a good personal narrative
🔴Those who can tell a good story about who they are and what they want leap over those who can’t

🟢Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward
If you feel like some things in your life needs to be changed (professional or personal), then change it now
10. Growth mindset over a fixed mindset
There are many things you can still change. How you view your life, how to be better at something, how to be confident; these things can be learnt.

📗Book Review
1) Life isn’t meant to go your way all the time, and that’s OK.
🟢When we give too many f*cks, when we choose to give a f*ck about everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel comfortable and happy at all times, that’s when life f*cks us.
2) Pick your battles wisely. Invest your energy where it matters.
👉Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a f*ck about what’s truly f*ck-worthy.
