Turning 30 can be a tad bit scary when you are in that danger zone of late 20's and you have been reckless, crazy and sort of pop head throughout your 20's.

But as you advance towards your late 20s all of a sudden everyone around starts to give you life lessons. In fact, you yourself might feel a bit obligated now to make it big in life before you reach that 3-0 zone and quite possibly now your folks have started telling more than ever to be serious about your life. 

However, once you will actually start living your 30's the life will look much simpler. It’s the magic number for change in prospective. How? Let us see.

1.     Making big bucks is no more the only motto in your career- All this while you were worried about making your career and earning better than bigger. But in your 30's you start to question yourself the reason behind all the Jazz around this big money making drama. Now the career is not only linked with money but with a deep passion for wanting to do something bigger, achieve something more and be a better person than you were in your 20's. You realize that there is more to life and that not all things require a lot of money. In totality you will get a fair idea about your path in life.                                                                                                                                                   

2.     Love is mostly volatile- You have always been that person who had his/her heart on sleeves and have always fallen hard in love. Now, you will get sort of enlightenment that there is nothing more volatile than the feeling of being with someone. You will get a much better clarity of what you are seeking for in life rather than being romantically filmy and waiting for the prince charming or that Cinderella in that Starbucks cafe you often visit. Mostly, now you will have guts to move out of something which is not making sense anymore.                                                                                                                         

3.     Fear is overrated- Do you remember how many things you were scared of in your early college days? God only knows how many- cockroaches, rats, spiders, falling from a bike, elder siblings, society norms, tantrum of friends, losing in life, a new pimple, breakup and other bullshits. Somehow now, once you reach your 30's you will feel that it’s okay to have certain fears but they are not that big a deal anyways. You know that the cockroach will not take a life like that of the Harry potter cockroach and take you but instead you know that it’s just a fear and well yeah!                                                                                                                                               

4.     Time is a precious gem- You know now that life moves at a faster pace than one thinks and that it belongs to no one hence somehow bungee jumping comes in your bucket list even when you actually have fear of heights. Now, you start enjoying your own company more than ever as someone rightly said that "there is nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to love your own company" When life moves at such faster pace than you actually understand the point that rather than waiting for the perfect partner lets enjoy the film and movie with our own company.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

5.     Keep real friends close- You were the charm of a big group of 50 people in college, you loved when everyone laughed at your jokes and when they seemed enchanted by your charms. You loved showing off your skills to your "so-called" friends and suitors but somehow now you feel like spending time with your close and real buddies rather than everyone who just think you are a best orator or a rugged biker and don't really know the deep aspects about you. Now, you will understand that friendship is the most important and valuable gift one can give themselves and you will actually nurture the relations which are deeply connected to you.                      

                

6.     Saving money is nobleness- Warren Buffet once said "Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving" and now you get it. All the party hopping, lavish dinners, endless online shopping, long beauty spa and everything which you enjoyed in your late 20s will now look unimportant to you. Since now you have a living dream in your conscious mind and that is why you very well understand what money stands for. You can never spend too much and have too much in return.                                                                       

     It’s true that money can't buy you everything but if you have to choose between snorkeling in Spain and many cocktail parties then what would you choose?       
                                                         

7.     Worst is best- You failed at one more thing. So what? It is all okay now. More or less you will now be able to connect the dots of your life till date. How did you reach here? What mistake made you take that certain path which later on got you to somewhere important? It all will somehow make sense to you. So you will know that when the time is worst then that is the exact time which will bring you closer to your dreams.                      

                                                

8.      Sex, a taboo? No more- It does not matter how you were in your 20's- A reckless lover or a serious relationship hopper? Now you will know that SEX is just SEX and not something fancy related to the fairy tale love bond. You will now have clarity of what you want in your life and why are you dating the person you are dating and let’s just not give this word any more importance that it needs. Let’s just get over this overrated word and live a real life.    

                                               

9. Health is wealth- Ok, so all you women might be daunted by the so called "early signs of ageing" or the men might be scared of the fear of hair fall but once you turn 30 but you will actually feel more energetic, more in control of your emotions and your life.  Most importantly you will know that the thing which we just cannot take for granted is our health. It is a life cycle and a way of nature so why waste time in fighting against it but rather we will start working with it. You might want to give a thought on that habit of smoking and over boozing.
