I turned 29 on Saturday. Twenty-nine.
A friend of mine told me he felt as if a timer went off the morning after his 29th birthday. Because, its common knowledge that everything gets a little more serious when they hit 30.
And yes, I felt that same timer click in.
The way I see it, I have one year to get everything back to where it belongs. Back to balance.
We spent our twenties trying new things, testing all of the waters, strengthening our weaknesses, making mistakes, and spending time and money on things that ultimately taught us where we need to spend our next ten years.
The twenties were about sacrificing what others could not - A normal home life, relationships, vacations, a healthy diet, healthy living, a car with air conditioning, air conditioning at home, safety nets, insurance, cable tv, etc.
Our twenties were about surviving.
The fear of regret when we hit 40 is what drove us. Because, what you learn in the darkest days of surviving allows you to get back all of those things you've given up in a fraction of the time.
And thats what this final year of my twenties is all about. To put it all back to balance. It's reassured by the progress our programmers each day.
Learn in your 20's. Execute in your 30's.
29 is gonna be fun...
