You're wrong in your 20s
Your twenties are a difficult decade. You have probably finished college and taken the first step in a professional career. Old friendships may change, your first romantic relationship may begin or end, and you may still be trying to decide what you want to do with your life. How you choose the existence of a strategy will make a clear difference in how well you manage this vast ten-year period. Read on for 5 ways you're sabotaging your own happiness, too.

Mistake 1

Forcing yourself to explore all the important things in life and hope they come together.

Today's youth are under tremendous pressure to start a successful career as soon as possible, to find the perfect match at the earliest opportunity, and to find their ultimate vision at the age of thirty. Is it any wonder this age group suffers from mental health problems? Remember that you are many years ahead of yourself in exposing your career, lifestyle, and true values. It's not fair to expect your life to be in perfect order five, ten, or even fifteen years after graduation.

Mistake 2

Live to work instead of work to live.

Pride in one's career can be a satisfyingly healthy source of income, and earning a good salary offers you a wide variety of options when it comes to deciding where to live and how to spend your time. However, some people allow their relationships, hobbies, and interests to be affected in the pursuit of large amounts of money. Don't let that happen to you. Try to keep a balance between work and play.

Mistake 3

Instead of thinking about what you can do to make a difference, stay focused.

There is no doubt that this world is incomplete and as a society, we need to change a lot. It's easy to be serious and focus on the negative, but another constructive approach is to point out the steps you can take to make the world a better place. This can be as simple as making a regular donation to a charity, volunteering, or getting involved in something that is important to your local community.

Mistake 4

Thinking that relationships alone are enough to maintain a relationship.

Love is undoubtedly a key component of a relationship. However, this is not enough. It is possible to fall deeply in love with someone but still realize that they are not fundamentally compatible. The best relationships are not based on romantic love, but on shared values, dreams, and goals. Communication skills and the ability to argue without hurting each other are also very important.

Mistake 5

Blaming and forgetting your parents is human too.

The way you grew up and the relationship you had with your parents will definitely affect your personality and the way you relate to other people. However, many people do bad things that their parents did wrong when they forget all of them when they did the right thing. Try to have a more balanced view of your parents. Very few people are good or bad. Most people have no idea what they are doing when they welcome their first child into the world, and they will surely avoid it from time to time. Remember that your parents are only human and the only set you have.

Get lost and lose control?

If you don't take any steps to change your life now, you will likely remain the same for the rest of your life.

Life may be uncertain for you now, but you can regain control of your life.
