Turning Twenty Four

A long path , half passed and plenty to go .

We all get excited when we turn an year old and this excitement fades when we complete our birthday celebration . Every one of us wait anxiously to that day in a year to celebrate our birthday with freinds and family. Now turning old brings responsibilities that we need  to full fill and take , turning old also brings worries  . Expectations with respect of age are paramount and which brings both pressure and challenges.
You woke up on your 23 or 24th birthday , wondering about dead lock Job , broken relationship, betrayed friendship , empty wallet and analyzing present to future . The following years after college aren't kind to us , moments of college,school almost faded away with time . We are fussed into the real world with large amount of student debt, jobs that barely pay enough to make rent , relationship twisting and turning rapidly . Honestly nobody like being twenty three or twenty four including your life . The next moment when  you turn twenty four neither feeling complete nor completely lost  in life . Thats the story being 24 , most of them have no idea about their follow ups .
In case you are 23 or 24 these are few things to keep in mind ..

1. You are not alone

Twenty four is lonely and uncomfortable age . Your college probably over , you must be in the verge of beginning the professional life  . And your life in a dismay, social life doing awkward, uncomfortable mounting everywhere and many more . Relationships complicated and importantly wandering where you are heading to .
This is time you need to speak yourself with much more seriousness and work on those disturbing stuffs . Remembering it's just a process and better results are due we can just fray along . Everyone of us go through these rough patches where some  gave up and that lead to seal  all those doors (opportunities) . Be there as long as you can , work hard and push yourself in order  get up and move . Remember you are not alone , everyone of us goes through this and the winner is one who fights back wisely .

2. It takes time to get done .

Turning 23 or 24 brings a factor of hurry, where you either quit or became impatient. You always have had a idea of tasting success in whatever you do in a jiffy . Being impatient we lose many quality opportunities that could have changed your life .You tend to get restless in order to get a job , rich etc or the circumstances make you to get hitched   . Letting go something because its no more time to hold on brings down fall in your success . No way you are bogged down by your age when you have worked hard to fulfill your dream . When your true dream comes it doesn't relevant to your age , because age does not play a role . Even if you are working on your dream stop not for age , work hard to get rid of boundaries of ages and live your dream .

3. Let go

Grudges are like scare , they stay with you even if you do not like it . Turning an year old , you have had also got a horifed past ,a bitter relationship, a bad bond of friendship and so on . Let go all , whether it is a tiny dark past or a horrible incident. Turning old gives you an opportunity to let go all those weird past  . Pass not all the negatives to another age where you pamper them to grow deep .

4. Never stop loving

Exposure of betrayed friendship, relationship and ugly side of love in our life brings doubt in mind and further disbelief in love . Age doesn't dull the power of love nor those ugly sides . Turning an yet elder brings lot of maturity, responsibility and compassion in order to love . Love like you will never hurt . Your love to your parents , beloved will value more than rest of things in life and importantly coming to an age where they need you most .  Do not stop loving,like you breath , love till you breath . Love lives rest perishes .

5 . Perfect is illusion

You , yes you are imperfect. How many times you looked for someone who is perfect but failed to find one . There is nothing called perfect that you seek , to fit you .We are all able enough to fit well with someone you know well and love a ton . Make your point if it agrees or suits then there you make  a perfect fit . Get rid of finding a perfect , you have all to choose . Those searches of finding perfect brings down to ageing where you get old enough running out of options or choices .

6. Pleasing does not make you

You don't want to be pleasing even if you need not to . Pleasing brings a weakness that could sustain in you years to come . The world will make you beg if you have a habit of pleasing too much . Please yourself to get better each day , please yourself to be good . Rather pleasing the outer world it's wise to please yourself.

7 . Do not loose - childhood

Ever wondered why you  like a child's smile or every one loved your smile when  you were child . The simple reason is perhaps they smiled the lovable cute smile among rest . Neither too much to obess nor too less to overlook or avoid . Those cute smile well shaped emotions and smile are heavenly. But the seriousness of this age  snap away all your beautiful smile  . Being old doesn't mean you loose all child like stuffs  . Bring back those looks that you loved , bring those childhood moments that make you happy and live .
Lost radiance are always found in those days, plays and ways of your childhood. You are not late to bring few moments of childhood and keep it to cherish . Smile like you did to unleash your beautiful you .  Do all those that you loved , eating , playing so on . Smile it and than believe it .

8. You are no more teen

Pastries, pizzas are all right . You have enjoyed every bite of it in your childhood and teen . Now that habit will take a toll on your body , health . Turing elder demands a lot of discipline, dedication towards your body and  health . The body's response aren't same as you were teen, jumping , dancing , playing etc . Take care of the biggest investment of future . Eating right , exerciseing , drinking ample water will make you feel better , look younger and healthy overall . Your life need to run long with the fuel of healthy living and being fit .

9. Some will go

Every one of us are aware of the fact that by the passage of time some of your freinds go away .  The grief of losing your freinds is immense and sometimes it's hard to let go . But the fact is its ok when some of them change their friendship circles by the change of time . The truth is few go but many stay . Friendship moves on , life escalates and you just need to move ahead . If they meant you they will stay  .

10. Search for meaning .

Here it's very important to note where ever you are in life , where ever you believe you want to be just make sure you know the motive of living . Every one of us are living , purpose of life and living must be recognized. You solely live for living then there you make a mistake of rendering a void life . Ask yourself, who am I ? , Why I am here ? and get these answers. Every one of rush to find success,few realise the  motive for being successful. Awaken yourself  to real things that matters to you  , spiritually enlighten in order to know purpose of you life .

P.S:-
You are worried for almost everything in the world , job , marraige , career etc . A marvellous idea to get rid of anything that worries you  from a guru . I state -  Do you worry ?  … Yes .
Can you do something?  … Yes . Then why worry .
Do you worry ?... Yes .
Can you do do something? ... No ... Than why worry ?
Do you worry ? …No . Can you do something? … No . Than why worry .

The truth of all uncertainty or insecurity is you do not back yourself , you worry unnecessarily and you indulge too much that perishes. The biggest truth among all is 'you are served what you deserve' . The time sets all tone and interestingly it will hurt and cure in equal measures
