 I know as young people, we have been told that even if you are old, it is never too late to start over. But let's face the fact, there are things you cannot do when you are old. There are goals you can never achieve no matter how much you feel it is possible to start over when you are over 60 years old. In the same way, that an 80-year old cannot be invited for a weightlifting challenge, most of your great goals that make up for so much in your future ought to be achieved while you are still young. It saddens me when I see young people leaving far below the standard they ought to be leaving because I know they are sowing into their future and because what you sow is what you reap, God help you that you are planting the right seed that will make for a great future for you. In today's video, I will be sharing with you three goals you must set and achieve before you are 40. If you don't accomplish these goals before you are 40, it will make life a bit difficult before you are 40. 1. Learn everything about almost everything Don't be a child at 40 when you should be a man. But many adults are kids in their brains even at 60. They can't make a good decision to save their lives. They don't know how to build healthy relationships. We shouldn't just be growing in one area of our lives, we should be growing in all areas of our lives. The only way is to attempt to learn everything about almost everything. I am not saying you learn to show off, but wise decisions often come from the wealth of information you have. The depth of information you have about life, human relationships, money, marriage, etc. will determine the depth of success you will enjoy in those areas. Back in those days, I would read all sorts of books in different areas of life just to be versatile. Today, yes, we all complain we are too busy, but if you are too busy to invest in your life, then you are busy indeed. You should spend an hour at least each day improving yourself, read books, listen to audiobooks if you can't read, follow excellent YouTube channels and stop paying so much attention to news reports. Learn everything about almost everything because that's how you will know what people don't know. If what you know is what will always put you over the crowd, then learning all you can about almost everything must be a life goal you start to pursue right from now. 2. Don't be satisfied with just jobs alone It's great to have a job if only you are not planning to die on the job, but some people have plans to die on their jobs. Just yesterday, my wife told me how an entire department in their company was closed without prior notice to the staff in that department. Suddenly, now it means the people in that department woke up yesterday morning only to close the day jobless. Most of them are parents. You don't want to leave your life banking on jobs if jobs do not lead you to create a life you really want. A life where you don't ever have to depend on jobs before you survive, you are taking a very high risk. Don't just fill up your time with jobs, learn skills that help you create jobs, invest in ideas that leads to creating the kind of life where you don't have to depend on anyone. Today, this kind of goal doesn't cost much, but internet data and a willingness to learn. Get on YouTube, start to learn. We recently received some emails where a lot of young people were asking how we make our videos and that we should mentor them on how to build online business. Listen to this, if we responded to all those emails in the affirmative, what time will be left for us to do anything meaningful on this channel? Rather spend time following excellent YouTubers who have provided all the materials you will ever need to grow your life. 3. Make a plan for complete and absolute freedom now in your later years It's funny how most young people never prepare for when they are old. You wouldn't always have the strength that you have now. You would have gained enough experience about life when you are old. Yes, but the strength to act on most of those experiences to make things better will no longer be there. I know that one of the very important goals we should pursue as young people is a desire for freedom now and when we are older. You have probably seen old people who are working jobs you could never wish upon your enemy. One of the lies we tell ourselves is that can never happen to me. I used to tell myself that lie too until I realized, well, I am in my 30s now and most of the things I thought would never happen to me are happening to me. 4. Plan for freedom. Walk to be free. Walk to never have to look up to a boss when you are a bit older because it is within this freedom that you will be able to live the kind of life you want. Listen, if you want freedom you must pay for it now. Don't be like other young people who eat their future today. Don't focus so much on entertainment now because eventually you will have to work anyway. Pay now, play later or play now and play later. Pursue a life of freedom for your future by working as hard and smart as you can now to prepare for that kind of future. Success is yours for the taking. Go take it.
