What are/were your twenties like?

My thirtieth birthday is fast approaching and to be honest… I’m okay with it. I know that’s probably unpopular—I know I’m supposed to be worried that I’m getting “old” and that I should have my life sorted as I approach this important milestone.  

But I was never one to do what I’m “supposed” to do. I prefer to not buy into rules that restrict and limit me. So I thought: “why start now?” And then proceeded to book a trip to reflect on and celebrate this past decade with some incredible friends.

That’s where I’m writing to you from now, coffee in hand sitting in the office reflecting on my life-thus far.

And maybe it’s the desert heat or the impending birthday that got me thinking: my twenties were unbelievable. I am so grateful for the lessons learned, for the things I’ve survived and the big decisions I’ve made (both right and not so right).

Perhaps I’m just lucky. But I don’t think so. I believe, honestly in the depths of my soul, that I owe all of this—these friends, this sunset, these puppy cuddles and this life to one simple idea I learned early on:

The sole (soul) mission of your twenties is to find your purpose—your reason for being in this world.

This is how I “did” my twenties and, in my opinion, there is no better way to “do” them. There’s no better time to recreate you, experiment, make big decisions, and do hard things. I have the amazing privilege of being here right now, writing this, sitting in the office surrounded by people that I love, because I dedicated myself to finding and crafting purpose in my life.

And I feel obliged to convince you that you should, too… you incredible twenty-something.
