Being more mellow and stable will open more doors because you won’t be as prone to emotional bouts. You will have that consistent core of self and principle. Not only that, you will gain the self discipline necessary to be great at what you do. I just recently turned 24 and I have finally decided on what I want to do. Making that decision was hard, but it beats staying in a low paying, thankless job. I cut out the options that were making me indecisive, freeing myself by limiting myself. This capacity to self discipline was not in me a few short years ago.

I recently turned 20 and I have began to question everything. I am a self proclaimed borderline conspiracy theorist, and I will be the first to admit that I have what is almost a paranoid view of the American government, which, given our current political climate, isn’t particularly irrational. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country with such passion, that I am leaving for basic training on the 22nd of July, and am most likely going to be Baptized with Fire in the middle east. But that is neither here nor there.
I needed to read this article because I have had what can only be described as a surreal philosophical awakening, and its so powerful that it is starting to affect my personal life negatively. I couldn’t explain it. I hated it because I didn’t understand it. but this article explains everything! so I now know what i must do now to ensure the path in life i want to take, so I thank you, Mr. and Mrs McKay.

As I said, I’m 28 as well. I went about my 20s in a similar fashion as you and actually lost friends because I stopped going out all the time like in college. To be honest, I do wish I could be out partying and definitely get that “Facebook envy” when I see people appearing to be having fun. Then, I realize that I am married, have a beautiful house, great job, learning to program, have savings, learned more since college than when I was in it, and I could go on. I wouldn’t trade that for ANYTHING — parties or whatever. This article helped really put things in perspective. Best of luck to you, Andy, and all Art of Manliness readers.

I turned 28 in Nov. 2012 — and I must say I do feel myself making more calculated (and better) decisions. I’ve made it a point to not let my emotions get the better of me and am trying to make thoughtful decision-making a habit. This was presented very well. On to part 2!

I am 40 now and while I was no Einstein, I spent my 20′s striving for my excellence. I set goals in sport, education, photography and travel. I got married and embraced life. While I wandered a bit, but my passion and dedication set the foundation for me to find the right career for me in my 30′s and success at work. I never had to give up any of my passions as I aged that I found in my 20′s as they became a part of me.

I’ve recently turned twenty-four and have had moments lately where I have been pondering as to what I have done up to this point, what I am doing now and what I need to do in order to have a successful future. This article jumped out at me and gave me the motivation I need to keep myself in check whenever I may get down on myself. Cheers!
