For me they were making a success of my career. Still not where I wanted to be, but getting that experience was crucial.

And having a child and watching him grow up was THE ultimate rush in my thirties. It showed me that it's not all about me.

You'll experience in some form or another tough times. Good times. Memorable times and tiles you'd like to forget.

Again it's about living the moment. And focusing on being happy where you are. I didn't do that for far too long, and probably missed out on a lot of good times because of it.

I think that every generation has felt this. The big difference for me is that in the past we compared ourselves to our friends. Our communities. A few exceptional people made the news, but essentially that was it.

Nowadays you can compare yourself to hundreds of people you've never met. And this goes for all generations today. LinkedIn compares our careers. Tinder our potential partners. Facebook anyone and everyone. And you only see the sides that people want you to see. So it's easy to believe that everyone is ahead of you.

I had a teacher that reminded me often that even presidents have to poop. So focus on yourself and let the rest go.

If you can do that, it's half the job done.

As an older dude who thought the same thing many moons ago, Billy Joel is correct.

Relax, enjoy every stage of life. Your twenties is about enjoying the moment, gaining experience and setting up your future.

No need to win the race at this stage, just make sure you do t lose it this early.

So slow down, enjoy the moment, relish each experience and set yourself on the path to where you want. (It's the trip which is important, not the destination as some would say).
