A person should clarify the main thread of their life as early as possible.
A person should clarify their main quest in life as early as possible.
If your main quest is to make money, then: ① Find ways to hustle and make money within the bounds of the law. ② Avoid useless socializing; don't waste time on people who don't benefit you. ③ Work hard to improve your professional skills and focus on leveraging your strengths. ④ Minimize emotional spending; spend money on expanding your network, accumulating resources, and making money work for you.
If your main quest is marriage and children, then: ① Don't casually enter relationships; first learn about dating and interpersonal dynamics. ② Work hard to improve yourself—even superficial advantages can broaden your options. ③ Define the qualities you seek in a partner, identify the circles where they hang out, and insert yourself into those circles. ④ Cast a wide net, put effort into promising connections, and aim to find the best match within your reach.
If your main quest is health, then: ① Force yourself to sleep early and wake up early; this can fix most physical and mental issues. ② Eat healthily—eating unclean or stale food burdens your body. ③ Exercise regularly—cycling, running, weightlifting, yoga, ball sports, and the like all work. ④ Manage your emotions; stress, anxiety, and anger directly harm your physical health.
If your main quest is enjoying life, then: ① If you have money, travel far and wide and explore everything—just go have fun. ② If you don't have money, work for a few months and take a few months off; budget travel and slacking off are inexpensive. ③ If you lack time, make do by squeezing in fun during evenings, weekends, and holidays. ④ Consider avoiding marriage and children if possible, as they will long-term constrain your finances, emotions, time, and energy.
The worst thing that can happen is not understanding your life's main quest, wavering back and forth, wanting everything, and ending up with nothing.
