Well, is it actually common not to be succesful in your 20s? I'm getting closer to my 30s and I've had to almost claw my way out of poverty and I am still not very succesful. There's so much inequality in the world now, espdcially in Canada now, I am kind of an orphan and I had to teach myself everything. I have scars all over and been banged up going through this guantlet trying to figure things out, it was nigh impossible. The thing is, not many people respect me I think beczuse of my social standing and background. I have a lot of resentment and anger about to pretend like I'm okay or like I've been comfortably middle class. But then I've been strugling a lot to the point it makes me kind of depressed, I honestly cannot really handle how things now. I thinkmI am dejected in the "adult" world for not acting appropriately,or conforming enough and my sense of self is almost denied. I almost feel seriously compelled to move to America because I love how individualistc Americans even though it has so many problems, but Canada is catching up...
I have learned how business, economics, works, politics. I am like a virtuso on the guitar and I am good at, drawing and writing. I have spent years, hours on end doing mainly this but often, I have difficulty connecting to others, I think because there is not very much individuality here?
I really struggling with "acting" too much, I find it unbearable...
Not remaining true to yourself is always a bad decision.
If you pretend to be someone, you will only attract pretenders.
As for not being successful in your twenties, it doesn’t mean anything. If you judge yourself off other people who were born with silver spoons in their mouth and have been given the opportunities to become successful at that age, then you have a problem. Never do that, it only leads to jealousy, fits of rage, depression etc.
I went from nothing, to having anything I wanted. I became self employed during the boom in Ireland and had, my own home, fast cars, exotic holidays, fine wine and dining. I had everything I desired. I lost it all in my thirties and haven’t been sorry ever since. Two points I want to give you advise on,
1 losing everything in my thirties kind of sucked but I met Jesus and realised it’s all worthless anyway. The less I have, the more happier I became.
2 if I knew what I know now in my late 30s about how I could have spent my twenties, things would be a lot different and I wouldn’t have been so foolish with my self gained wealth.
I hope you can realise that although in your twenties and you have clawed out of poverty in a sense, don’t take that as a struggle. If anything, if you do acquire some wealth in your later years, your early life would have taught you that how and what you spend in life is important and not something to squander.
Trust me, if you gained wealth in your young years, your life could very well turn out for the worst.
Be happy with what you have in the circumstances you are in. Don’t worry about your future or the past. And ever judge yourself off others, this is your life and your walk. Yes I’m sure there are lots of things and lifestyles out there that you wish you had, but if you humble yourself, you will realise that there are also people out there wishing they had your shoes. Think about that should make you realise exactly how blessed you really are.
Living life in this state is what success is and how it’s measured. Having money and living according to it doesn’t mean your successful, it means your bank is rich but your life is poor.
I hope this helps and if you think I’m mad, that’s ok too lol.
Knowing God and using my life expieriances have taught me very well. Sometimes the only way we learn in life is to go through whatever storms God thinks are best for us. Just remember, never worry, your Gods child and that’s a pretty successful thing to be.
