 The quality of a person's life depends on the kind of content that they consume, and it far outweighs the number of years one lives. It means that to make the best use of one's life, you have to set goals, learn and improve the quality of your life so that you can succeed. Most importantly, it is essential to make those decisions early in life. Setting goals for your life gives you something to live for and be excited about whenever you achieve them. Every successful person started their journey to success by setting goals for themselves. However, those goals led them to create plans that can help them achieve their goals one step at a time. According to Andrew Carnegie, if you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes. Also, Sweat Martin, an American inspirational author, said, All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible. It is essential to set goals, but to do so as early as your 20s because it will help you live a successful life. In this video, I'll share with you 10 goals every man should pursue in their 20s.

Find your passion A famous Steve Jobs, the co-founder, chief executive and chairman of Apple Computers quote is, The only way to do great work is to love what you do. When you find your passion, your drive for success increases because you're doing something you love. There's nothing that you desire more than to see it grow and become a huge success. According to Gabby Giffords, an American politician, pursue your passion and everything else will fall into place. It is not being romantic, it is the highest order of pragmatism. In pursuing your goals, of course you'll experience some tough and rough times which will make you frustrated and if you had your way in those moments, you'd like to give it all up. However, no matter how draining these situations turn out to be, you'll be willing to give it all you have and go over and beyond to ensure that you achieve success because you are completely in love with what you do. There is nothing that you want more than to succeed in doing it. 2. Chase your dream Finding out what your passion is is only the first step to becoming successful. Chasing those dreams is next. Doreen Virtue, an American author, said, it is not enough to dream of your ideas. You've got to take action to bring about their creation. When you find out what your passion is, you need to chase your dreams. To do this, however, you have to create plans detailing actions every step of the way until you achieve your goals. Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter and sculptor, said, our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan in which we must fervently believe and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success. When you set goals and create plans, you need to start by taking it one step at a time. Don't assume it's too early to start, or you still have a lot of time on your hands. Remember, you still have a lot of mistakes to make and learn from, and you still have a lot of projects to work on before you can become excellent in your field, which in turn puts you up for success. 3. Find your core value The best time to build your life is in your 20s, when you are very much allowed to make mistakes and correct them quickly, without causing so much damage to people or things around you. When you are older, you are likely to have a lot of responsibilities like a family, a good number of who are dependent on you for survival, a job, etc. In your 20s, however, you are still flexible, so find your core values and build your life and career using those values as your foundation. It's crucial to find your core values early enough because you want to create goals that align with your values. 4. Start saving for retirement One of the critical ingredients for success is managing your finances, because to gain your financial freedom, it is vital to manage your finances as effectively as possible. One way to start is to learn how to save for retirement. You see, your 20s are the best times to start saving for retirement, because you are without so many responsibilities. If you start now, by the time you have a lot of responsibilities like taking care of your family and the likes, you don't have to break a neck to save money. It would have become a lifestyle. Besides, you'll have compound interest working on your side, which means you'll have acquired much more wealth than you can imagine. 5. Create an emergency fund Another vital part of managing your finances effectively is learning to save money for emergency purposes. As the name implies, an emergency fund helps you take care of unseen circumstances that might require urgent financial attention. For instance, say your car breaks down unexpectedly, you develop an emergency medical condition that needs urgent attention, etc. Where would you turn? That's right, your emergency funds. However, if you don't have one, what will you do? If you learn the habit of saving for emergency purposes now, it'll be easy to keep up when you have your family responsibilities and need to save more money for unforeseen purposes. Here's a tip to help you. Start by saving up at least 6 months worth of expenses. 6. Pay attention to your health Most times, in a bid to succeed at all costs, we fail to pay attention to our health, because success becomes very challenging. If you have to struggle between focusing on building your career and fighting to restore your health, your health should be one of the essential things in your life. Without it, you can't achieve anything long-term. Etchy Hillesam said, Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. Start eating healthy, exercise regularly as well, and build a healthy lifestyle. 7. Surround yourself with successful friends The journey of life are better still. The journey to success isn't a lonely one. You'll need people around you to motivate and inspire you to keep moving when things get tough. One of the challenging times of life is dealing with obstacles on your way to the top. It takes a lot of determination and resilience to keep at it. When you surround yourself with people with similar core values and people who are passionate about achieving their goals, no doubt you'll be inspired to keep going no matter what you face along the way. 8. Consider traveling I'll tell you what traveling to a different country or city does to a person. Traveling exposes you to different cultures, places, people, perspectives, etc. It allows you to see the world in a different light. You'll begin to think differently about a lot of things and the effect of that is that it'll produce better results than when you were stuck at some old methods. So, whether you decide to go alone or with family and friends, it is vital to travel especially now in your 20s because your feet now can explore your options regarding the career of your choice. You'll meet new people while you travel and get ideas about numerous ways you can live your life. Also, it's important to start traveling now in your 20s because building a career takes time. So, the new changes and lifestyle habits you're about to begin exploring will take a while to produce noticeable results. The earlier you start it, the better off it will be. 9. Develop yourself Self-development is vital when it comes to success. You can't depend on the things that you knew yesterday to deal with the issues of tomorrow. You need to be updated and informed. Otherwise, you'll become outdated. Guess what? No one likes to deal with absolute people. 10. Accept and love yourself Loving yourself is the best way to feel great and confident about yourself and it is when you love yourself that everyone else will treat you right and with the love that you deserve. If you don't learn to love yourself first, now that you're still young, it'll take a lot of effort to not put others over yourself when you grow older. Thank you very much for watching our videos.
