So to follow up with my Turning 30 – Things I want to do post I thought I would do things I’m glad I’ve done before turning 30 – Achievements before 30.  So I don’t actually turn 30 until November but there is always negativity around turning 30, where you thought you would be in life.. and where you actually are.  Instead of thinking about what you haven’t achieved I thought I would think about what I have achieved.  So here goes:

So there we have it, I think I have done quite well and this is only the start.  I will have to come up with lots of things to achieve in my 30’s.  Turning 30 can be scary for a lot of us but at the end of the day it is only a number, try thinking of all the things you have done in life so far and all of the things you have to look forward to.  It really does make you feel a lot better.  Celebrate what you have achieved and always look towards the future, you will probably realise you have achieved more than you thought.  We all need to stop thinking about what we haven’t done as it is never to late to do it.
