You’re Young, On A Questionable Path? Change Your Life Before It Is Too Late

July 29, 2024,

Are you young?

Be extremely happy. You have time for many things. To change many things.

One of the challenges of being old is that, in terms of regret, you just don’t have the time to change things or undo major regrets.

The beauty of being young is that you do. There is a key to that.

Begin to recognize the signs that you may need to change.

From our view, there are three major factors that you will regret if you don’t pursue change.

Financial.

Relationships.

Employment.

One of the greatest regrets that one of our older associates has, who doesn’t have the retirement she wants, was that she didn’t heavily pursue money when she was young. Like many in our circle, she was formally a part of an international organized religion that demanded so much of her time.

Time she should have spent making money.

When you are young, your body is healthier and your mind more wide open. This is the time to financially prepare for your future. Don’t wait. Even if you don’t fully know what you want your future to be, whatever future it is, it will always take a lot of money.

Look at this key statistic.

According to the global news leader CNN, “The number of US cities where first-time homebuyers are faced with at least a $1 million price tag on the average entry-level home has nearly tripled in the past five years, according to new research.”

Shocking.

The article goes on to add Zillow indicates that a typical starter home is now worth $1 million or more in 237 cities, up from 84 cities in 2019.

Which brings us to wages.

Here, a college degree is critical. If you rely on basic or minimum wage, how will you ever purchase a home for you and your family?

As posted on May 17, 2024, by bankrate.com, “The average projected starting salary in the U.S. for the class of 2024 at the bachelor’s degree level is $68,516, according to a Bankrate analysis of NACE data.”

Our thinking?

Lessen your chances of regrets by making far more money than you need and save as much as possible for years to come. It is a new world and a very expensive one. And, think about it. One day you may find yourself in a long term relationship where you are plotting your future together.

Until you are not.

This is a sensitive area, so we won’t stay here long.

If you find yourself in a long term relationship that is not working out, at what point do you need to chart another course? The mistake that some make is that they feel they have to stick certain situations out.

Marriage is different.

There is counseling and therapy. As far as a person can, we believe they should make their marriage work, especially if they have children. It is before you are married that you may need to ask some tough questions.

Do both of you look to the future with a similar viewpoint?

Do you continue to argue about important things?

Is one person not pulling their weight over a long period of time with little signs of progress?

We could go on, but before you get married, you have to ask yourself if they are the future you want.

Don’t be afraid to change.

Have you heard of Synchronicity?

What is it and how does it relate to change?

It is a concept introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung to describe events that coincide in time and appear meaningfully related, yet lack a discoverable causal connection.

Let’s walk over to the bookstore.

Find Your Purpose, Change Your Life: Getting to the Heart of Your Life’s Mission Paperback – Illustrated, March 6, 2001

By Carol Adrienne (Author)

“For all those who have been enchanted by the power of synchronicity and are ready to be taken further down the path, Find Your Purpose, Change Your Life offers the next step. Here, Carol Adrienne, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Celestine Prophecy: An Experimental Guide, provides a practical workbook that shows you how to tap the unsuspected potential of synchronicty — the force revealed in everyday coincidences — and use the power of your own intuition. Using dozens of examples from her own life and work, and offering an array of write-in exercises, Carol Adrienne reveals how you can use synchronicity to find your purpose in life and achieve the rewards that come from living in harmony with the souls’ code.”

We love to entertain many schools of thought.

One more.

By Tim Laurence (Author)

“The “Hoffman Process”, founded by the late Bob Hoffman, is a highly respected and effective 8-day intensive course of emotional healing now practised in 14 countries around the world. The Process helps you face demons from your past – often rooted in your childhood and upbringing – and forgive, heal, and move on.

Now, Tim Laurence, the director of the Process, brings its unique methods to a wider public. Some self-help books focus on therapeutic techniques, others on practical advice. But this is the only life-changing book to bridge the gap between the two, offering a unique perspective from which to bring benefits to all areas of your life. It aims to help you renewed enthusiasm for life; increased self-confidence; clearer sense of purpose; greater spiritual identity; better relationships with others; and, relief from anger and depression.

A brilliant synthesis of Freud, Jung and other leading psychologists’ work, the Process has proved its worth internationally for 15 years, and admirers include many of the most influential names in the self-help movement.”

Makes good sense.

It reminds us of an ancient tale. A true accounting.

RMS Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank on April 15, 1912 as a result of striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City.

Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, 1,496 died, making the incident the deadliest sinking of a single ship at the time.

The Titanic, operated by the White Star Line, carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from the British Isles, Scandinavia, and elsewhere in Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States and Canada.

Now for the point.

The Titanic received a series of warnings from other ships of drifting ice in the area of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, but Captain Smith ignored them.

One of the ships to warn Titanic was the Atlantic Line’s Mesaba. Nevertheless, Titanic continued to steam at full speed.

You see, the warning signs were ignored.

In your young life, if you are not happy with your job, career pathway or relationship that is deeply not working, unlike the Titanic, don’t get stuck. Don’t wait until it is too late to turn around.
