We most times are so fixated on doing this and that before a particular age in our life or doing a particular thing before we get to a particular age which to an extent isn't wrong but when we are so bent on doing this particular thing that we end up losing sleep trying to compare ourselves to others and doubting ourselves when we fall short it becomes a huge set back to getting our goals.

We must learn to do whatever we want to do because we want to do it and for the sake of our future, not because someone else did it or because we feel everyone in our age range is doing the same thing, it makes us think less of ourselves and lose our self-worth because we feel we can not be like the others and call ourselves a failure.
Perhaps we might have forgotten that although many were born the same day and at the same age, it doesn't mean that they have to achieve the same thing at a particular age.
Take charge of your life, take charge of your career, don't let the world define what age you have or need to achieve a particular thing, and when you refuse to let the world define your achievement based on your age, you will not only have peace but you will also realize that you will be able to achieve more for yourself not because people are saying it but because you feel it is for your best interest.
When we learn to stop attaching our age to our goals and decide to run our race, define success by ourselves and set our pace our own way and not the way the world defines it, we will be more than happy with ourselves.
Take charge of your life and do whatever you are doing because you want to do it and think it is for the best both for your now and for your future and not because people think it that way.
