4. Constantly seeking approval
Hard as it is to recognize, you actually don’t have to cater to the opinions or demands of others, and the sooner you learn that, the better. The best thing is to drop that habit as soon as you can, because it can only lead to your unhappiness.
We know that it’s natural to want to be liked, and to want people to pay attention to us, tell us we’re amazing and approve of what we do. The truth is that we’re never going to get that kind of reaction from everybody, so trying to get this is really pointless.
5. Procrastinating on your goals
In your 20s, you can no longer afford to be putting off your goals. Of course, you’re still young, and you will still learn and chase things every year for the rest of your life.
You should know that when it comes to success in any field, the more prepared you are, the better. The more work you put in, the better.
Don’t wait for tomorrow to enroll in that course you want to do or travel to that country you want to see. Talk to people, research, work hard, take risks, and make things happen!
You are the only person who can get yourself to where you want to be, so there’s no reason to not start today. Chase those goals, and keep trying to get better at your given field.
