@thomasmalucelli Turned 39 today 🎂 Here are 7 things I’ve learnt don’t matter in your 30s 👇🏽 1 - Whether you’re married or have kids Everyone’s timeline is different. If you force yourself into building a life that’s not aligned, you’ll wake up sooner or later and realise how unhappy you are. Focus on building a life that’s right for you, not everyone else. 2 -Whether you have less money than you thought you would. Your 30s are often a decade of rebuilding, shifting careers, and taking risks. I’ve taken more leaps than I can count in the last 10 years. You might not be where you want to be financially, but you’re wiser and have way more experience. Most millionaires are made in their 50s and 60s- keep going. 3 - Having it all figured out. No one has it all figured it out, ever. We’re all just doing our best with what we’ve got. I’ve learned to let go of this one. 4 - Waiting for the perfect moment. There isn’t one. Start the thing, book the trip, or have the conversation. Clarity always always comes through action. If you’re feeling stuck, make a move. 5 - The mistakes you made in your 20s I’ve mourned so many of the bad decisions I made, not to mention the guilt I carried for some. I now know that I wouldn’t be who I am without them (and neither would you). We were supposed to make them. 6 - How fast other people are moving. You can’t compare your level 2 with someone else’s level 20. You never know how much work someone has put in behind the scenes. Social media is also mostly a highlights reel. Comparison is the thief of all joy - stay focused on your lane. 7 - External success without internal peace and health. The car, the house, the followers - none of it matters if you wake up anxious, unhappy with your life, with no energy. Peace, alignment and health are priceless assets and will allow you to feel the wealthiest you can possibly be. What’s one thing you’ve stopped caring about in your 30s?
