The title makes the point & we will explore the obvious point further. You see, the plain fact is YOU (youth) knew nothing before you came. Think of an empty vessel for a lower-level example. The container awaits whatever usage you assign to it. Now, apply it to mankind & behold the mysteries, without end, boundless, awaiting to enter into & for you. Until you can take the helm, your first authority figures have at it & get their way with you. At some point, you start adding & subtracting to make yourself more to your liking. Now, we are off & running into the known & the unknown. What a great journey!
SOME JOURNEY CAVEATS BEFORE WE BEGIN
1. Beware of distractions, things that interfere with focus & appreciation
2. The Universal Law: Whatever you get into, gets into you. Choose wisely
3. Comfort Zones are no respecters of persons. They sedate everyone to no action
4. Addictions lurk here & there. Your defense? Moderation in all things
5. You are not the first or last to venture forth, but instead, the only YOU to do so
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST
1. All things are allowed, so get to it. Take any compass point & explore your fill
2. All things are possible. No other lifeform can say this or know this either
3. Trial & error & learning as you go will aid you, so go with confidence.
4. All things await your visit. Believe, have & seek this
5. More will be given to you if you are carefree, less, if you become too serious
THE DAY YOUR TEENS STARTED
Youth know nothing & know everything (lol) at the same time, plus they will argue that too. This is the beginning of the discovery of your own will, what you like or don't & your ignorance concerning everything which leads to less ignorance
THE DAY YOUR TEENS ENDED
Up until this point, you couldn't care less about what is to come. Instead, you are glad being told what to do is lessening (parents & homework). A mysterious void appears, beckoning YOU to fill it in, but with what? How? Where? Free ride over
DO SOMETHING
It fascinating to discover that all mankind must do something & no exceptions. We are mobile machines, with prompts, curiosity, storage space, five senses & legs. If we sit still, we punish ourselves. However, what to do, can be a type of deer-in-the-headlights puzzlement.
POSTING TIME-OUT BREAK
We started out NOT able to list anything from birth to needing to know something post-teens. Now here is what they don't explain enough about a very important subject. It involves a time of life, with no do-overs & much reward
there is no time-out, only time-in
AGE 20-30
High school allowed some fun, education & experiences but now that it is over, we can clearly see what we would have liked more & liked less. It lulls you in the moment. Your 20-30's is similar with a slight variation & tweak. We need to know
THE CHOICES ARE SIMPLE & NARROWED DOWN
EMPLOYMENT
Many of you reading this far are beyond this timeline, so be patient while those who are not, get some direction. You have to get a job, any job, as supporting yourself becomes a reality & a must especially if you want & need things in life
COLLEGE
For those who want to educate more, college until a degree is next. Most do not know what to get a degree in, but know this: It has to be able to monetize itself i.e. make you money & a living or what is the point of getting it?
MILITARY
By some quality time-out, join your choice of service, & see the world & understand it more. Be advised that when talking with a recruiter, you can negotiate as to what you want & where you want it. Then sign up. When it is over, you get perks & pluses in addition to have grown-up, matured & have confidence
WORTHY NOTE: Your 20-30 period is fleeting & must provide a foundation for the rest of your life journey. Life can become more challenging as you age.
CHANGING AS YOU GO
You must choose AND take note; you can make changes as you go for the better. You don't have to know, but you have to do, so choose one of the above. Youth should be spent wisely instead of being misspent foolishly. Now, you know
