This is not aligned with a person for being selective about finding friends. We are taught to set the boundaries upon our circle spaces for our friends & family to develop the intimacy, and that’s okay.
However, It is possible to set our target to meet new people everyday with any personal preference such as race, religion, culture etc. This tip is a complementary factor for tip #1 in which it is conducive for forming a habit that derived from an extroversion trait such as companionable behavior towards people...even to animals and nature!
This is not about dissolving your introversion trait, and convert yourself into different side of social trait’s spectrum, but rather develop a basic social skill, as this will help you in a long haul especially in networking activities. Adaptability skill is an essential factor to connect with everyone with your own preference.

5. Invest In Your Education
People can remove anything materialistic from you to attain except one: Knowledge.
Knowledge is the power to create everything to dwell in our life in tangible & non-tangible existence. This also includes personal human development which you may need to comply few core values such as humility & self-esteem that are created from a habit upon passion over education.
However, you don’t need to invest on any expensive educational offer to attain both learning experience & recognition, or even anticipate an offer solely with its pricing rate. Instead, look for any opportunity that is worthy for your time, money & knowledge in a long run. For instance, find a learning syllabus that may be complementary to your goal achievement and self interest such as personal financing or your career growth.
Reading book is the best effective method to plant your brain with not just knowledge but also critical & creative thinking. I would recommend any measured books help stimulate your critical thinking while novel & fiction book helps elevate your imagination for enhancing your creativity.
Remember that knowledge is everywhere around you. It just how much you have absorbed them all this time. An old people once said, “you can’t teach an old dog a new trick,”. This is utterly true, which you should never allow an educational opportunity slips away.
6. Learn How to Start & Manage Your Own Personal Finance Plan
Personal finance is the most essential skill for managing your life status. It is very important to note that having your own personal finance blueprint with a basic analytical skill and a heart of patience to run for financial stability in a long time.
It is no doubt to feel lack of financial security as in facing the quarter life crisis in youth lives. Despite the digital age has delivered its revolutionized benefits to a few generations for living their lives, the 20s has to overcome their financial challenges with their own competencies to promote a greater feasibility to generate any active or passive income.
Startup by creating your financial goals to be achieved before the beginning age of 30s. Find your source of income to determine the money flows to align with your goal progression. Be patience. All takes time.
7. Always Stay With Love Vibes.
History & spirituality have proved this ideal of value as a great use to cope for our lifestyle with positive energies to be exchanged by people for one and another in any surroundings. As there’s a saying goes:
“Everything in life is vibration. How you vibrate is what the universe echoes back to you in every moment. Opening my heart in gratitude tunes me to a higher vibration of love.” - Unknown
Be with someone who can elevate your own self into your own greater version which you may stumble upon many people throughout your 20s include engaging any workforce with your colleagues, plan a weekly gateway with your besties, spend your quality time with your soul mate, or create more sweet memories with your family in a vacation.

However, what you thought may reflect your reality, whether it is either positive or negative feedback about you. In other words, let’s discover life more filled with your heart, body & mind to reach beyond any risk but rather peace & unity within us.
All comes with a purpose that drives a person to share their loves to people in many aspects, and it can consider that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference.

8. Don’t Take Life Too Serious
20s is also the most crucial stage of life whereas you will need to find direction. Nowadays, millennial are facing challenges in the digital era, as they are lack of direction & purpose for their living which is due to too many life choices & opportunities for them to decide to move forward during their quarter life crisis. Thus, they are living in the state of fear for facing the world with any uncertainty, which cause them to take life too serious to make sure their life is stable.
Sometime, we consume by people’s common opinion that “Wealth is the measurement to happiness” that is not pessimistic to give happiness through materialistic gains. In other words, numbering gain will not make us happy but rather human touch. Building a substantial relationship with others will ensure our needs & wants are meet efficiently in the long run.
Worrying with any problem is quite normal for us. Problem is just as it is, but it is never as big as you think if you readjust your perspectives to see it in a different angle. The universe is too big which loads with the galactic complications, so your problem is very insignificant, and very small.
What’s better reason to take life too serious? The real purpose of life is to just live with its own simplicity & enjoyment!
9. Listen more, Talk Less
You will meet more people with different thousands preference & opinions in which they would most likely to more than obliged to share with you to picture their thoughts.
It’s great to participate with many social interactions, but it’s significant for us to differentiate between listen to understand and listen to answer. Sometime, people assume they know most of the answers and respond without deep dive into the message.
It is easier for people to learn more by listening as an important asset to put in good use rather than seeking validation through answering without conceiving them. Acquire this important skill will ensure you to expand the context & horizon of a message from a sender or responder, and increase your perspectives which help to create a mutual understanding with others.
Always assume that you are the least knowing person in the room, and master this habit to also improve your social interaction.
10. Live Young Forever
20s will pass by so quick even before you realize it. What will happen next the moment you reach 30s? Will you be more determined to acquire more goal achievements? Will you find your soul mate? Will you attain your dream career?
What if I tell you that these don’t matter if you don’t learn how to live young forever?
