30 Things to Do Before 30

The period of life from 20 to 30 years is the best time for adventures. Most people at this age are busy with education and career, but there are things that you simply must do to preserve unforgettable memories and have achievements behind you that you can be proud of. Much depends on your views on the world and your lifestyle, some things that you could do were suggested by the portal Insider.pro , and some we added or adapted to our reality.

1. Learn a new language. Today, there are many ways available to everyone to learn the desired language: online services , books, watching movies and TV series with subtitles, etc.
2. Learn how to make a fire. Knowing how to use matches or a lighter and making a good fire are two different things. When hiking or relaxing at the dacha, this is usually done by one person. But what if that someone is absent from your party?
3. Stop seeking approval from others. We worry too much about how others perceive us. This lowers our self-confidence and impairs our ability to find a simple solution. Stopping obsessing over other people’s opinions is not easy, but it is worth trying.
4. Write a letter to your future self. Write about your plans, dreams, and expectations. Put it in a time capsule or hide it in a book and decide how many years should pass before you open the letter. This idea will give you a chance to see if you have forgotten the promises you made to yourself and if you have become who you wanted to be.
5. Gain financial independence. To avoid drowning in debt, you need to be able to make money work for you, and not the other way around. To do this, you need to devote some time to studying financial literacy issues.
6. Jump with a parachute. Yes, not everyone has the desire to experience the force of gravity. But if you are one of those who once was fascinated by this idea, but never decided to do it – do it!
7. Get rid of bad habits. Because health is the most important capital, without which life is not life.
8. Visit a new continent. It’s an amazing opportunity to learn about another culture, gain invaluable life experience, and meet lots of interesting people.
9. Master basic dance moves. Stiff or overly active movements, as a rule, do not attract anyone. But if you learn to move smoothly and confidently, for the opposite sex it will be a sign that you own your body and pay due attention to it.
10. Turn off your phone for a weekAgain, you are probably not in the area of ​​responsibility right now where you would be fired with a black mark for a week without communication, so you can afford it. Tell them that you are going to the Himalayas to take away the body of a relative who fell off a cliff, and boldly restore your psyche, shaken by communications.
11. Stop procrastinatingThe books I was lucky enough to write weren’t the result of a week’s work. I got up every day and worked on them. While one book was in the printers, I was already sitting down to write another. I’m not kidding. 30 years is a long time. A year is a long time. Wake up every day and do it. In a year, see what happens.
12.  The right time is right nowWhen I moved to the farm, so many people told me they always wanted to do the same thing. It wasn’t a very difficult process: much easier than getting into Harvard. If you think you want to do it, just go for it.
13. Appreciate the quiet momentsIt is in quiet moments that we understand what is meaningful in life and what is fluff. You are standing on the shore of a lake, contemplating a canyon, enjoying nature. The lack of such moments makes you feel that you have not lived enough. The more contemplation you have in life, the more pleasant it seems.
14. Do exercises every dayDon’t think that in the future you will lose weight and start doing sports. Be in shape today. Make sports a part of your daily life, your responsibilities. Endorphins from exercise should enter your blood every day.
15. . Don’t compare yourself to other peopleThere is a parable about Caesar crying at the statue of Alexander the Great: “Alexander at my age was already the king of so many nations, why haven’t I achieved the same?” Ultimately, both of them remained in history. And both of them left this life. Who cares if someone did something earlier or later than you? Nobody cares.
16. Earlier does not mean betterI had this idea that I needed to be a millionaire by 25. Where that idea came from, I don’t know. But I made my first million a little later. You know what difference it made? None. Nobody threw a party about it. Achievements don’t change who you are.
17. Be aware of your mortalityDon’t be afraid to think about death. I think about it often. I like the following position: “You are afraid of death only because you can no longerof this“Do?” By “this” I mean things that take up my time and are useless. Motivates.
18. Be responsibleI have life insurance. I have savings. If something happens to me, the people I care about will be taken care of by my savings. Many people spend money on things they can’t afford, but don’t want to save for the well-being of their loved ones.
19. But don’t overdo it with responsibilityI feel creatively and professionally fulfilled because I didn’t always finish what I started. I dropped out of college, I left a good job. That’s why I now live the life I love.
20. Airbag is importantWhy was I able to take these risks? Because I had money saved. I wasn’t panicking about how I was going to pay the bills. Having a safety net will help you make the decisions you want to make, but others think are reckless.
21.  Don’t live as if every day is your last.This image will lead you to a lack of planning. Instead, live consciously. Do your own thing, spend time with loved ones, value your time alone, have fun.
22.  Travel (but with a clear purpose)Think about the purpose of your travel. If you really learn something from them that you couldn’t get from another source of information, then it’s worth it. Travel should have some purpose, and not just be a meaningless movement through space.
23. Don’t be afraid to be oldYoung people are stupid. Old people are wiser. Who do you want to be?
24. . Study the lives of great peopleRead biographies. Don’t compare yourself to them, but learn, adopt experience. Descriptions of the lives of ambitious and strong people will teach you a lot, and may even save you from pain and suffering
25. . Don’t waste time on grievancesHow much precious energy have you lost by arguing? A self-sufficient person will never think: “Oh my God, how dare he say that?” Don’t expect any behavior from people, but control your own emotions.
26.  Buy a houseYes, it’s hard to afford it when you’re 20, but try to buy your own place before you’re 30. If I hadn’t bought an apartment, I wouldn’t have been able to leave my job to become a writer. Having a home is an amazing feeling. It’s a place you want to come back to.
27. Work a lot, but where you like itMany people like to repeat this line: “On your deathbed, you won’t remember how hard you worked.” I bet. I’m very proud of what I do. And I will reflect on my work on my deathbed. I certainly won’t remember going to restaurants, playing video games, or going on meaningless dates. There are far more useless and regrettable things in the world that we do all the time. Like talking about politics. And devoting yourself to something you love isn’t so bad.
28. . Don’t take drugsOf course, there are people who will disagree with this. But in reality, drugs will not answer your questions and will not give you anything new. It is better to understand yourself.
29.  Don’t accumulate hatred insideMy biggest regret is that I wasted so much time on envy and hatred. These feelings do not make anyone better. They only make you more miserable. Life is too short to waste it on hatred. Look for what you can love in people, even if there are not many of them.
30. Read a lot of booksI prefer to learn from other people’s experiences. How many stupid mistakes have I avoided because I learned my lesson beforehand? So many that I can’t even count them.

     

31. Have a babyI used to look at people in restaurants and feel sorry for them. The other day I was in a restaurant with my child and had a great time. I realized I was an idiot. I don’t think I’ll live to be 90, so I want to spend as much time with my son as possible.
32. You can do whatever you want.Make sure there are no unnecessary restrictions in your life regarding your appearance, hairstyle or diet. Do what you feel comfortable with. Freedom starts with little things.
33.  Avoid competitionSometimes competition helps us become better, but more often than not it just eats up resources. Don’t waste years of your life trying to be better than someone else. Be yourself.

Don’t wait for a round date, on the eve of which you will certainly be covered with reflections. Think very carefully and answer yourself honestly, what purpose does all this daily fuss serve. And then the next thirty years will pass much easier and more joyfully
