I was a 20 something just 6 weeks ago. Today, I look back with tremendous sagacity and insight into the decade that many of you occupy. And out of my wealth of experience and acumen, I want to humbly offer some advice:)
In your 20's...
-Give yourself space to make mistakes. That financial, relational or career misstep won't sink your battleship. You can recover.
-Get an education and then get over it and yourself. Think about taking up a trade.
-Network. It's really not what you know, but who you know.
-Develop a life of spiritual disciplines. Find a place and time to pray and read the Bible so he can steer you into your 30's (there may be less carnage this way).
-Travel. And not just to the beach. Go on a missions trip or 10.
-Have fun. I probably don't need to tell you this, but just in case you forget.
-Stay connected to multiple generations. Visit and chat with your grandparents while you can. Take your nieces and nephews to the park. This is good advice for too many reasons to list.
-Keep an open mind and don't burn bridges.
Agree? Disagree? What advice would you give?
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. (I Timothy 4:12)
