How did you stop wasting your youth and finally get your life on track?

[Jewelmyth]

When I turned 22, I said to myself, "Next year I'll be a girl who has achieved everything she wants." Two months later I'll be 23, and I haven't kept that promise. I thought that by the age of 23 I would at least learn enough English to express myself, but I had exams and spent 10 months preparing for them 😞 and not a single thing improved in my life. The same cycle continued, and I wasted another year listening to others. I wish I had taken my own steps, and this year I will work to get things back on track. 😩This time I'm going to do things my own way. I want to go to a sewing class and sew something for myself; at least that's what I can do.

You never get your life on track.😆 You just learn from your mistakes and hopefully do thi gs better. Life is about choices and you're always sexond guessing yourself. It's estimated that i'm about 4 to 6 years away from becoming officially a millionaire which an accomplishment. And i still feel like i did it wrong.

Well first off you have to set goals and seriously work towards them. Then secondly you have to say to yourself whatever you start you have to finish and lastly and most important TAKE YOURSELF SERIOUSLY!!! Your time is valuable DONT WASTE IT! Thats what I did and now im very successful and life is good😉😉😉😉

I never had that problem.

At 23 I felt the same: big promises, little progress. What changed my life wasn’t a huge plan, but small, stubborn steps.

Here’s what finally worked for me:

1. One “anchor” habit
I picked one thing only: daily focused learning (for you, maybe English + sewing). Even 30–45 minutes, no excuses.

2. Tiny, visible wins
I made sure each week produced something tangible: a page written, a short conversation, a finished sewing piece.

3. Quarterly, not yearly, goals
Three‑month goals feel real; yearly ones feel like wishes.

4. Fewer voices, more experiments
I stopped asking everyone’s opinion. Instead, I tried things for 2–4 weeks, then adjusted.

If you like, I can help you design a 3‑month plan around English and sewing that fits beside your exams.

Get a job. Honestly. What are you studying? Unless it's a professional program (e. g. medicine) or you are looking for an academic career you would be better off working than studying more.

You're right, I'm thinking of entering the workforce.

focused on consistency instead of perfection.

Never had to.

Just be better today than you were yesterday

I've started doing this lately and sometimes it makes me feel good.
