When you look around you, everyone seems to be doing something for themselves, people seem to be living a life you only dream of.

You have applied for jobs and the results have been more disappointing than Besigye’s shot at Presidency.

Sadly this is the age when most guys lose it, the age when if not careful, one is consumed by alcohol or drugs…

Worse is when a few people you studied with have been lucky enough to land jobs, soon your circle of friends grows thinner.

I mean what you will do when you are in a WhatsApp group of friends discussing last week’s trip to Zanzibar…

…and planning another road trip to Kigali while you’re not sure of what your next meal would be?

But it isn’t always bad…

This is the age when you learn a lot about life, if you can hack through this stage, your only hardship would losing your parents.

This stage teaches you a lot about perseverance, about appreciating the small wins you have each day.

— Phi φ (@MthoBiyela) January 24, 2016

It teaches you something about friendship, love, career growth and personal responsibility.

This is always your rise or fall moment depending on the choices you make.

How you live your life in the 30’s is determined by how you would have handled your life in this phase.

— Phi φ (@MthoBiyela) January 24, 2016

I haven’t been long in my 20’s but I won’t wait until this phase reaches me before I start doing something about it.

— Phi φ (@MthoBiyela) January 24, 2016

He ended the thread with this important question.

That’s why I always ask, “Are you working on your dreams today?”

In summary, the key to success is working on your dreams NOW and not anytime later. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
