Oh, Shit I’m 30 is it too late for me?

This is the most common thought for people approaching 30 or just turned who are dissatisfied with their lives.

I to have had this epiphany and there was no going back after this realisation. It was slightly different for me; however, I decided one day that I’d had enough of drinking and taking drugs on the weekend which intern led me to getting sober at the age 30. It was only then I had concisions clear clarity of how I was, how the world was and the clear gap of inadequacy I had too close to be where I believed I should be.

When you’re young you just think that life will fall into place without any clear path or planning. I somehow thought that money would just come to me, and I’d have an abundance of women and wealth. Not true.

As the wrinkles start to appear and staying out late on the weekends around pissed people seems to be less fun you start ask certain questions of yourself. Where is my life going? Why am I so unfulfilled, why do I not have my own place yet? Why aren’t my relationships working out?

And so it began the path to self-development ..

I have been on this journey for little over three years now and it’s been life changing. Drinking and taking drugs hasn’t even been a thought that’s crossed my mind, I’m so immersed in building a better ben and giving him to the world I have zero tolerance for bullshit and wasted time.

However, I’ve been battling with the realisation of if I’m good enough to attract the things I desire into my life. I doubt I’m the only one who has this nagging day to day reality but without it id be struggling for meaning and purpose. It’s the thing that gets me up in the morning before sunrise leaving nothing to chance so it’s a trade of I’m willing to take.

So many of us walk through life blindly letting life happen to us only to one day wake up and ask what happened like myself. The answer to the heading is ‘NO’ its not too late but like the great Robert Greene says your 30s 40s & 50s will come around sooner than you think.

The morale of the story is get clear on what it is you want out of this life? Take a piece a paper and a pen out and write down exactly what it is you want rather than what you don’t want. To get good at anything and to start seeing financial returns in life can take 3,5,10 years depending on what it is you want to do.

I hope you enjoyed reading see you next time.
