Valuable experiences that I didn’t get exposed to until my Thirties

Life is full of lessons and life goes by faster than we thought.

Hoping to live longer so that I can learn more life experiences, from myself and from other people.

Here are some valuable experiences that took me a while (after entering 30) to comprehend fully:

1. Gain knowledge, not things

Things will hold you down, but knowledge will grant you the freedom.

In the past, I do not really have the chance to spend time on online courses to upgrade myself.

Now, I am able to spend some time on online courses and reading of articles to expand my overall knowledge and after gaining some new knowledge, it will also guide me in earning more money for our (my current boyfriend and I) future.

2. Investing on myself

I am picking up tips to invest in myself. For example, tuning my body clock back to normal state so that I am able to sleep 7–8 hours a day. Also to read more articles to relax myself.

I feel better when I have ample rest and my productivity level improves. In which, it increases my level of confidence, my own well-being and being happy in general.

3. Prioritisation

I am telling myself that “I have time to do anything I want” as long as I plan and prioritise them properly.

4. Do what you want to do

Other than having a full time job, I will shuffle other priorities like family, relationship, freelance data entry job, personal goals. These are the main things I want to do and will continue doing it.

Some people will get to realise things way earlier, which I am envy of. Even though it took me quite a while to learn it, after all, I am still quite proud of myself to have learned this after entering Thirties.

5. We will never know where life is going to take us

As much as I want to enter big companies like Google, I had joined (my current job) a company which I never heard of it before. The most worthwhile part is to be able to leverage my skillset.

The guy whom I thought I never had the chance to be with, I am now with him, for almost 2 years. And this is the best gift to me ever.

Again, life surprises you in many ways.

6. Hearing your inner voices

Hearing my inner voices and opening up myself more. It leads me to happy dose.

I do not have a specific valuable experience that is my favourite. This is because every experience which I gained along the way, is my favourite.

Turning 31 in 5 days and so far, my Thirties are turning out to be better than expected. *pats on my shoulder*

Thank you for reading and in this Covid-19 situation, please stay safe and healthy everyone!
