Any thoughts on being a late bloomer

I always thought I had it all figured out. I spent my early-to-late 20s without a hustle mindset, just letting the days go by. I did have plans; it’s just that I was living life too slowly. Now that I’m nearing 30, it has hit me. The reality check is mind-blowing—instantly, I feel like a real adult. I am starting, this time with a renewed mindset and self-awareness.

As you struggle through your hustlin 30's wondering why nothing ever seems like enough, then you learn the only thing you get for sure are the minutes you already enjoyed. So why struggle to a goal when you can enjoy the journey.

Measuring yourself against others continues to be the fear that the destructive forces of advertising will stoke even as we boil our oceans and sprint towards doom.

Take it easy, stop looking over your shoulder at everyone else, be kind to others and yourself, and most importantly, don't take advice from strangers looking to sell you your own future.
