Can You Get Away With Doing Nothing In Your 20’s?
Summary
- Don't assume you have infinite time; I've seen too many young people pass away unexpectedly, which shows life isn't guaranteed.
- View life with a sense of urgency, regardless of your age, because assuming you'll just keep living can lead you to waste precious time.
- Avoid dead-end jobs in your 20s; it's not about the money, it's about personal growth and preparing for your future success.
- Prioritize jobs and opportunities that contribute to your skill development and education.
- If you don't focus on growth during your 20s, you'll fall behind by a decade compared to those who do invest in themselves.

How To Take Action
A good way of doing things is to act like your time is limited. Why? Because, honestly, we never know how much time we've got. I've seen young people who thought they had forever suddenly not be here. It's eye-opening. So what does that mean for you? It means, don't put off your dreams. Start working on them today!
I'd suggest ditching any job that feels like it's going nowhere. Yeah, even in your 20s. Money is important, but it's not everything. What you should chase is growth – like, learning new things and getting better at what you do. Think about it. Jobs that boost your skills? Those are the ones that count.
Here's a plan you can follow:
- Look at your job now. Does it help you grow? If not, start looking for one that does.
- Each day, pick one skill you want to get better at. Spend 30 minutes on it. Read, practice, or take a free online course.
- Talk to people who are where you want to be. Ask them for advice.
- Do things that scare you a bit. They usually mean you're growing.
- Review your progress each month. See how far you've come.
If you skip out on growing in your 20s, you'll be a decade behind those who did work on it. So don't wait. Start learning today, and keep pushing to get better. Remember, it's not about where you start. It's about where you end up. And that's all up to the steps you take now.
