How people change after 30: what we gain and lose at this age
What do you expect from your thirtieth birthday? Despite its simplicity, this is a difficult question, because at first glance, nothing will change for you when you hit the milestone. This was reported by SSPDaily.
In fact, according to the Relevant website, everything will change - your lifestyle, environment, and views. Here are the 3 most important lessons that the 30th anniversary teaches us.
The end of the experiment
The age of 20 to 30 is a time of exploration. We change majors, cities, travel, and meet people. In general, this is a continuous experiment after living under the control of parents, which helps you understand who you are and what to do next.
And it depends on how lucky you are. Someone stretches this period to their third decade, someone becomes sensible earlier. We get married. We determine our vocation. We find cities we like. Wandering and anxiety give way to clarity and stability.
As a result, when you reach the age of 30, it becomes obvious that the time spent on this planet is limited and every day you live brings you closer to death. Therefore, if you want to have a family, a home and a career, you need to stop wandering and start creating.
Responsibility is more expensive than freedom
Young people are now in no hurry to tie the knot and don't get married until they are 30, enjoying the freedom and lack of responsibility.
And this is right to a certain extent. After all, when you buy a house, you give up the opportunity to give up everything and move to another place. And when you get a serious job, you can't easily try yourself in a new profession.
At the same time, at the age of 30, you face the other side of this equation. The responsibility that comes with age surpasses all the perceived freedom of youth. In other words, you don't miss your twentysomething self because you suddenly find that being thirty is much better.
Think about this in the context of marriage. Even though your freedom is limited, it doesn't matter, because now you have a person who is ready to do anything for you. And you wouldn't trade it for anything, especially for some abstract ideas.
The ability to prioritize
Perhaps the most important lesson that turning 30 has to do with you as much as it does with others.
Undoubtedly, one of the side effects of aging is the loss of control over your time. This is especially true in the 21st century, when everyone is constantly connected and distracted. There are so many demands that we can feel like an observer of our lives rather than a captain.
At the same time, priorities change with age. If youth is often defined by self-flow and self-discovery, then as we enter independent life, the emphasis begins to shift "outward."
In a world where time is severely limited, it is important to set the right priorities so as not to miss the most important things. That's why the things that used to be of paramount importance - socializing with friends, parties, and office life - no longer attract attention. Instead, we focus on family, faith, vocation, and loved ones.
It's an interesting shift that most of us don't realize until we're past the first 29 years of our lives. And realizing this fact ultimately changes everything.
