 10. Life Lessons People should learn before they turn 30. Life is full of lessons. Some of them you'll learn instantly, others you'll learn over time. However, learning certain lessons early enough can help you avoid some mistakes and enjoy a better and more successful life. When we were teenagers, we lived a carefree life. Our major responsibility was to earn good grades at school. When we grew older and in our 20s, things started to change. We went to college, got a decent paying job, our first apartment and even a car. At this stage, we get to make certain important financial decisions, investments and the likes. Learning certain life lessons at this point can help us make even better decisions that will enable us to enjoy better adulthood. In this video, I'll share with you 10 life lessons people should learn before they turn 30. This, I believe, will help you become a successful person.

No one else will take up the responsibility of your life but you. Yes, when you were younger, your parents did almost everything for you, including taking certain initiatives and taking some actions. Now, you are older. Who's going to do that for you? Denise Waitley, an American motivational speaker, writer and consultant, once said and I quote, a sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make. 2. You can't please everyone. Bill Cosby said and I quote, I don't know the secret to success but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone. The truth is that we all want to belong. We want to feel respected and valued but that shouldn't be done at the expense of our integrity and happiness. Trying to please everyone is a decision that will always leave us feeling this way. Taking validation from others won't make you feel good about yourself. So, stick to your values and stay true to what you believe. People will respect you for that rather than trying to please everyone. 3. Save and money now will earn you financial freedom. We all desire to be wealthy but we can only achieve this by attaining financial freedom. To make this happen, you need to learn how to save so that you can invest. When you don't save, you can't invest money and without this you can't generate more money for yourself. The best way to develop your saving habits is to ensure that a certain percentage of your monthly income goes into a different account tagged savings. You can also set up another account tagged emergency funds which should be a sum of six months of your salary so you don't have to resort to using credit if you lose your job or become seriously ill. 4. Love is more of a decision than a feeling. Love is beyond the initial emotions we feel towards a person. It's a decision we have to make because relationships can be hard work. However, it is up to us to choose how we want to act, think and speak with our partner. We have to choose to let go of anger to forgive, respect and be faithful to what's each other. 5. All the opportunities for growth are beyond your comfort zone. The moment you get stuck in routines, life has become comfortable for you with no opportunities in view. Hence, you have to challenge yourself if you truly want to succeed. Stepping out of your comfort zone is the only way you can grow and move forward and when you are growing, it becomes easy to spot opportunities and succeed eventually. Of course, it's going to be a lonely road because most people prefer to stay where they are comfortable. But always remember, that's the only place that opportunities lie. 6. Your health is your most valuable asset. Good health is an invaluable treasure that most young people often waste before they realize its importance. In our 20s, when we are still very much active and vibrant, we tend to take good health for granted because we think we have the strength to do anything we like, such as go 3 days without having a proper night rest because we probably had to go clubbing or partying or weekend long, drinking and smoking and yet we don't pay attention to healthy living habits like exercising and eating healthy meals. So, we don't pay attention to our good health until a situation forces us to do so, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, bone density and the likes. 7. You won't always get what you want. No matter how carefully you plan or how hard you work, sometimes things just won't work out the way you want them to and that's okay. Fine, we all have expectations and predetermined vision of what our ideal life should look like, but reality doesn't always walk on the path of ideality. You might change your mind, your dreams may fail and so on. Don't feel so bad about it, instead understand that it's all part of life. Just move on. 8. Failure is part of life's journey. Sharuk Khan said and I quote, success and failure are both parts of life. Both are not permanent. Do you know what? Failure is part of the journey to learn. The keys to growing and finding success is learning from those mistakes and failures. So, it's okay to fail as long as you are learning and growing. Instead of letting failure hold you back. 9. You can't get to anywhere fast trying to cut the line. There are no shortcuts in life. So, when you are trying to play smart by jumping some processes, you'll eventually pay for it, one way or another. 10. The only person you have to be better than is yourself. Your responsibility is to become a better version of yourself and not compete with someone else, either on the internet or physically. Ernest Hemingway, an American journalist, novelist and sportsman said, there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self. Compete with no one else than who you were yesterday. 10. We publish inspirational videos to inspire and encourage you as you go through the harsh journey of life.
