Life starts after 30. It’s then when we finally get a feeling of awareness and independence and understand our aspirations and true wishes. However, in order to make your dreams come true and get the maximum success in all spheres of life, it’s worth learning some things. We at Bright Side chose 13 necessary things that every person should do by the age of 30. Don’t miss our bonus at the end — it will reveal 4 simple steps to happiness.
1. Find a job that you enjoy.
Having graduated from a university, we’ve experimented with changing jobs, working offices, salaries and professions. But by the age of 30, it’s quite important to find the very job that will bring you satisfaction where you’ll strive for more development and climb up the career ladder.
2. Learn to cook your signature dish.
You can either hate cooking or know all of Gordon Ramsay’s recipes by heart, but either way, you need to have a dish that you’ll cook better than anyone else. It should be a main course — having a signature dessert is optional. Experiment and don’t be afraid to add new features to your dish in order to master this skill. Having a signature dish provides you with confidence when faced with important visitors to your home.
3. Understand who your true friends are.
When we’re young, we’re surrounded by many people and easily get new acquaintances. Very often, we mistakenly think that they are all our friends. However, after some time, they disappear and only true friends stay close to us — those who will help you when you feel blue and those who will rejoice about your success with you. Appreciate the people who have stood the test of time and don’t stick to just anyone around you.
4. Stop telling everyone the details of your personal life.
Keep in mind that if you want to keep your relationships strong, you shouldn’t tell everyone about the issues you and your partner are facing. If you feel an urge to do so and you want to share your worries with someone, visit a psychotherapist. A professional will listen to you carefully and will help to analyze both your and your partner’s actions. All these things will give you the opportunity to look at yourself not only from the position of a victim, but you’ll also notice your own weaknesses and as a result, you’ll find the right way out of the given situation.
5. Prioritize correctly.
We always hurry through life, trying to do as many things as possible. But after some time, we understand that we’re focusing on small things and neglecting important ones. Usually, it’s trips and time spent with family that we remember; no one remembers how they had to do overtime in the office on a Friday evening. It is important to learn to prioritize and to do what you really want as often as possible.
6. Find money and time for vacation.
A lack of rest leads to moral and physical exhaustion and reduces your overall level of efficiency. That’s why it’s better to spend money not on the latest smartphone model, but on a deserved vacation. Having rested fully, you’ll be able to reload and make more. Make a rule to save 20% of your salary for a future vacation.
7. Get a driver’s license.
Getting a driver’s license motivates you for further actions. Once you get it, you’ll start thinking about buying a car and, therefore, will increase the level of your income. It’s easier to travel having a driver’s license — you can always rent a car when going abroad and will be able to see more sights.
8. Provide yourself with extra income.
Make sure that you have an extra source of income by the age of 30. It can be freelancing, some passive income or your own business. Even working in one of the most stable companies in your city can’t guarantee you a stable future. That’s why it’s necessary to provide yourself with an extra source of income so that you can handle any critical situation.
