You’ve just started your life. It’s so sad that our culture has decided that everything has to be figured out at such a young age. This way of thinking has imposed a lot of self doubt and anxiety in the system and I’m passionate to at least start a dialog around how absurd it is to think that at the 20-25% mark of one’s life, especially after they have been in the modern education system for most of their lives, that they should somehow have “life” figured out.
The pressure from your parents (many don’t have their lives figured out too) or from friends or society (most are unhappy and don’t have it figured out either) is unacceptable.
Simple question, are you happy? Are you self aware about what would make you happy? Are you coming along in the process of not letting other people’s opinions dictate your actions?
I am super passionate around communicating observations and this one, this one sticks to me like glue. Go on your own timeline, it’s your timeline, not anyone else’s.

Don't be scared of 30. It means nothing. Too many 28 year olds panic because they're like, oh, I'm supposed to have it figured out by now. That's the great lie of society.
There are some 28 year olds that haven't figured out. There are tons of people that don't quote unquote. Figure it out until 42 and then the question becomes, what is figuring it out. Figuring it out doesn't mean getting married doesn't mean having kids doesn't mean making a million dollars.
Figuring out is being happy, joyful, content, and at peace. And you're not going to figure that out at 28. it's too early. It's like trying to win a race in the first leg of the race.
28 is the time to enjoy. It's a time to mature a little bit. Like now, you got a few years under your belt. You've learned a little something.
You've been a pseudo-grown-up for a few seconds. So it's maybe not like do the same exact dumb you did at 18. But you're not 79. You're not 89 when I tell you I feel pretty much the same as I did at 28.
No, 28 year old is gonna believe that. but every 48 year old's gonna believe that. and I think that's the secret of life. and I think people need to figure that out.
I was bullied at 22 that I was going to be homeless from a toxic old school friend, Now 28 still lost with everything. Whenever I tried to convey something like this to him, I would be told if you think that. He would invalidate anything I said because I wasn't working
😢
Im 28 bout to be 29 and i swear im losing my mind
My Neck, My Back, My Knees, My Eyes, My Hair😂 its happening😮
I turned 28 in May and I'm still not where I want to be in life. I want to finish college, I want to study abroad and live in other countries, experience different cultures but I've been scared because 30 is so much closer now than it was at 27 lol
I really needed to hear that it's okay to not have things figured out and that I still have time to do anything I want.
Thank you
I’m filled with so much guilt & shame that I haven’t figured it out yet. All my peers are at a stage in life where they’re secure professionally and are getting married, and I’m absolutely nowhere as compared. Daily reminder: be kind to myself.
Patient Pig 😎
Daily Positivity Energy! Thanks Gary!
I love this
I’m 28 and god has given me all those things by his grace 🫶🏽 so it’s not too early I think it’s just right
I love how he has to read
Ok Gary Vee.
This inspired me beyond words, thanks Gary ❤
I'm 33 and feel like logging out of life. Crazy inflation, dead end job and no where near where I wanna be. Feels depressing…..
Advice for 40-50 ?????🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😳
Who is this
im 37, and I feel like I lost everything I had. Need to refocus for a life change
Exactly this! 😊 Even after 30 or 40 etc. And it’s ok! Figure it out at your own pace and terms!
Im 27 have my degree in graphic design and still havnt figured it out. I feel like my degree is practically useless where i am currently. So here i am making $2 less an hour doing front desk as a dead end job.
