As we’re halfway through our 20’s, we take a look back on our early 20’s and bring together a few of our best experiences, what we’ve learned and milestones reached.

Something to bear in mind regardless of what you’re currently going through is that your 20’s can be the most challenging years of your life, they can also be some of the best. There are many differences between a 20-year-old and a 29-year-old, and with various changes happening in your 20’s, you might feel as though you may never have it all figured out. Below are some life lessons we feel everyone should learn or at least be aware of.People think that you have to work really hard to be successful and that will make them happy. However, surprisingly the truth is that Success itself doesn’t make you happy; rather being happy brings you success.

Don’t live by the mindset that when you get the grade, or when you buy the house that you’ll be happy. Happiness isn’t something you should wait for. You have to fight for happiness and it has to come before anything else.

The reason is simple really. Happiness brings you success, it makes you more productive and it is the foundation for everything in your life. As such, make happiness your life’s starting line.

Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new and different things out, taste test, savour, sample and test ideas. It’s a perfect excuse to play around with ideas! But living an experimental lifestyle is not just about new things, but rather it’s about a mindset. It’s having an idea and not accepting it as fact. It’s not dismissing it, but embracing it and playing with it.

Do not waste your time trying to put the perfect plan together or trying to figure out what to do in the future . it is important to do something today, and make progress every day, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day.

If you want to live a life you’ve never lived, you have to do things you’ve never done – simple as that. don’t let those stuck in their comfort zone deter you from stepping out of your to achieve your dreams and passions.

Assumptions are a very dangerous thing. Communicate when in doubt. You could literally be one question away from being happy in any otherwise serious situation.

You can’t please everyone – so don’t attempt to. It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not.

University doesn’t necessarily dictate your degree of success. Formal Education will make you a living, and self-education will make you a fortune.

Guilty of this one myself but ensure you don’t compare yourself to others. Instead, use people you admire as a source of inspiration. The comparison is the fastest way to feeling down about yourself.

Life is a journey and not a destination, its a roller coaster with ups and downs and isn’t black and white. Everything you do along your journey contributes to where you’re going.

Be selfless and don’t keep your ideas to yourself. Competitive advantage comes from assembling a strong team (together everyone achieves more) so consider organizing a mastermind group or even a co-working session to share ideas and resources.

Our minds are powerful but vulnerable. Feed your mind with positive thoughts every day. Remember your thoughts and beliefs dictate your reality! The moment you start believing in your dreams and take the right actions, your reality will begin to change.

It is simply a visualisation board/tool that is represented by words, phrases, and images that represent you long term goals and dreams.They are fairly simple and inexpensive to make, and can even be held electronically on your phone or desktop.

The concept behind a vision board is fairly simple – by placing visual representations of your goals into one space, you can easily visualize them frequently. Remembering to look at them daily and imagine them as if they have already come true is one of the best ways to activate the Law of Attraction. as well as reinforcing your daily affirmations and Keeping your attention on your intentions.

A great book to read is The Secret a book recommended by us and what highlighted the purpose of a vision board.

Volunteering is the commitment of time and energy, for the benefit of society and community, the environment, or individuals outside ones immediate family. It is undertaken freely and without concern for financial gain.

Volunteering can give you the opportunity to try something new, gain experience, develop skills, improve your career prospects, build confidence and meet new people.

Through volunteering you can:

There are lots of easy ways to give your time to help others – from having a cup of tea with an elderly neighbour, to helping out in your local area or making a regular commitment to volunteer with a charity or community group.

There are many organisations that can help you find a way to volunteer that suits you.

Do-it is a database of UK volunteering opportunities. You can search various volunteering opportunities by interest, activity or location and then apply in person or online.

You can also contact Volunteering England, Volunteer Scotland, Volunteering Wales, Jersey Charities, Guernsey Charities or Volunteering Matters to find opportunities in your area.

Things to think about before you volunteer

There are a number of things you should think about to help you find a volunteering role right for you, prior to application.

There is an old saying of ‘Time heals all wounds’, which some believe to be more true than ‘Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it’. These conflicting approaches to comparing the present with past are at the forefront of a new relationship between two people who have previously been in a relationship together.

In this episode Ola and Anton discuss their views on getting back with an ex-partner. It is important to note that any relationship from the past must be assessed with the following questions. The answer to and manner in which these questions are answered will help you to answer that all-important question: Is it a good idea to date your ex?

How Long Have You Two Been Separated?

If the answer to this question is “not long,” then you must consider whether you two were really broken up. If you are just going back and forth, then your partner is not an ex, but rather is a participant in your drama.

What Was the Reason You Two Broke Up?

First of all, if all your answers place the blame on him, why would you want to get back together? If he has changed, the question you must ask yourself is whether or not you have changed. If he has modified his behavior that contributed to the breakup, but you haven’t, you might allow unwanted behavior patterns from the past to resurface and slowly re-enter your life. In this case, your lack of change will be the biggest hurdle to a successful reconciliation. You must consider your role in the original breakup and be prepared to confront convenient narratives that have evolved over time to confirm your version of reality. Are you ready to admit forgetting and overlooking some of the real reasons?

How Are Things Different Now?

What is it about things that have truly changed? Are you more financially stable? Is he? Has a person who came in between you two stepped out of the picture for good? All of this must be analyzed in detail, because if things are not different, how can a relationship be successful under the same conditions in which it fell apart? Look at how much has changed in both of you and assess whether this change has been for the good.

Believe it or not but personal development is fundamental for growth and if you have a vision then success.

Personal development starts when you say today is the day I will grow, this is when the journey begins.

because when you made the commit to start the journey you have in mind where you are heading and every now and again you will look back to see how far you have come.

As you go on this journey it will be a challenge and you will question if you have taken the right path, others will question what are you doing but the most important thing you can do is address your goals.

Something happens when you write your goals down and if you can surround yourself with people who will help you achieve them.

Your friendship or interaction with people may change as you grow, you need to be around people who are growing as well.

Bank Holiday Monday

Questions like these tie into are internal values, these values dictate how men and women should behave and it is these values that dictate how each gender should behaviour or act when on a first date.

There are no right or wrong answer to this question and we are entitled to opinions. We all have different values but the important note is not to conform to the values placed upon us by society.

As two young males growing up as millennials we have similar but different view when it comes to dating, interestingly our common ground stems from us questioning society and breaking the social definition of a “Man”.

Should dating be redefined? Comment below and also don't forget to listen to our latest episode on soundcloud goo.gl/cxDWBS#earlymornings #tuesday #relationship #firstdate #tmi

It all depends on who asking out who on a date.

However from our experiences of being asked out (it has happened), we found that the expectation to pay has still been placed on us? Is that how it should be? And would it be wrong to go
