My friends and have been talking about this for the last couple of months. I am ready to be 30 this year and a couple of my friends are getting close to it too.
Getting to be 30 suddenly looks to be a turning point in my views and thoughts about things in life now. Is this normal? Does everybody goes through this? Does it get better or worse as the years go by?
I don't know if the fact that starting to look back in time and say "Have I done something worthwhile?" has something to do with it. I tell my friends that all of sudden I get afraid of the future. Though I feel more confident and secure about things, I feel in uncertanty about the mistakes and the benefficial decitions I have made.
Now life is really full of expectations and experiences but can this process of looking at your life and starting to analize myself be part of it?
My friends tell me not to worry about anything but I think they are getting the same thoughts... what do you guys think? Does it vary with people?

This happens to everyone when they get to be around 29/30.
Pay attention and do something about it, because you get another dose of it in the late 30s and it's worse if you don't handle it properly earlier.

Hi ... you have lots of time to do something worthwhile (whatever you think that may be) . Also, life is too short to not enjoy what you are doing and where you want to be. At the age of 30 I had little to look back on ... any mistakes you have made you probably learned from the first time and if not so what ... and if your decisions arent what you think they should or could be .. you have time to change the direction. Material things aren't all there is ... a new adventure etc. can also be good

It likely varies with human beings, yet I went by ability of an similar ingredient at 30. really, 30 replaced right into a stunning 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and it has merely gotten more effective acceptable because then. certain, at 30 your attitude on existence differences and also you're more effective smooth with your self and protect on your attitudes. Your judgements get more effective acceptable. yet 30 remains only a initiating. that's no longer the top! in case you sense like you've not contributed what you needed to with the help of now, then that's no longer too overdue to commence. to allow you to recognize the actuality, no one can really be taken heavily in the previous 25 besides. if you're 29, then you definately recognize what I advise. you're literally not in the back of the game. i imagine you're likely particularly generic. merely discover your pastime and pursue it relentlessly!

My dear friend,
You have made a good question...and thankfully you have done it relativelly, not too late.
The most important factor is "Mentality".
If you find that the curent mentality doesn't drive you anywhere... you must try to find ways to change it.
LIFE IS GOING ON, and if we are not able to follow we loose the train.
You may lack of initiatives or confidence to face the real facts. The Solution is ONE....
Resuffle your cards, create new initiatives and boost your confidence. You don't know how or where you have to start from?
It is easy. Today it is easy.
Put in your search engine. "Personal Development Program" and you are gonna get a huge list...It should be the starting point.after that, you have brains, worki it by yourself.
For a start I'll give you the name of Tony Robbins to put in your search engine and.......
have as well a surf in this site,,,,,,

GOOD LUCK.

It gets worse as the years go by. The best remedy is: go do something. First step I took was turning off the TV.
What do you want to do? Make a list. Then find ways to accomplish these things. The idea is that whatever you want to do, it takes action. Emphasize that: it takes action.
Everyone, I think, has moments of self-doubt and the realization that they are not living up to their potential. I know I do.

1. You have accomplished friendship, and a lot of people haven't.
2. You don't know how you have affected other people. You may have changed someone's life with a small act of kindness years ago.
3. Your question may be full of opotmism: you know you have so much more you can accomplish, and you know you have time to do it, and you know you are ready to do it because you are feeling restless.

well basicly i have been in the same boat now... i put everything into my marriage. i left college so he could go to school... i depleted funds that were in my savings and college fund for stuff he thought was going to pan out and i co-signed for him on a loan that went back....now i am starting over and i have nothing ... literally barely a roof over my head, but i just take it day by day, because i am determined not to let lost time depress me. instead i have to focus on where i am going and what i know i can accomplish. and by the way i'm 30ish too...smile...u and i both will get the thngs we want out of life...good luck

Dont think about what you have not accomplished, but what you have accomplished in life. Re-org your woulda shoulda, coulda's into goals. How can you accomlish these goals? Are they even goals anymore? has life thrown you curveballs so that you no longer deem those things as important as you used to? You need to re-org what you think is more important in your life. Then, take a few chances. most important of all, have fun!!!

It's a fear of accomplishment. It comes and goes. It's probably just my mindset. I expect to accomplish things in a short amount of time. It's this impatience that makes me feel I haven't done anything.

Go out and do something!!! Antyhing to express yourself!!! Make some artwork to express how you feel, however you feel, even just for yourself. You will accomplish something. Of course, it won't save humanity, make you a fortune, or any of that jazz.
