The pressure to be ‘successful’ by 30: A modern day dilemma
Success isn’t a race, it's a journey. Everyone moves at their own pace. Growth, resilience, and fulfillment matter more than arbitrary deadlines
We live in a world where turning thirty (30) feels like a deadline. Society expects thriving careers, financial stability, and personal achievements.
But is this pressure realistic, considering diverse backgrounds, different opportunities, and unique personal challenges?
Social media amplifies this expectation, showcasing young millionaires and influencers who seem to have it all.
These curated success stories often overlook struggles, making it easy to feel behind when our journey doesn’t mirror theirs or conventional timelines.
The truth is, success has no fixed timeline. Some find their path early, while others take longer. Many renowned figures, from the Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Dangote, Despite, Oprah to Colonel Sanders, only achieved greatness well after their thirties.
Instead of rushing against the clock, we should embrace growth at our own pace. Every step forward counts, whether big or small. Learning, resilience, and adapting to life’s uncertainties matter more than arbitrary deadlines.
Success is about progress, fulfillment, and resilience and not age.
Whether you’re thriving or still figuring things out, your story is unfolding as it should. Keep going, because success is personal and lifelong.
