Gen Z is struggling with our 20's and you might know why.

Gen Z is having an identity crisis.

We struggle with picking our "aesthetics" from getting force fed recommendation feeds. When you feel like you're always comparing you never feel settled in one area. Which means, it gets harder to have those defining moments and choices.

We want to know who we are, but it gets lost when we're TOLD what we have to be.



Having life figured out in your 20's isn't the norm.

You're 20's are messy and filled with constant change. In our lives today, we want some sense of stability in our personal and professional lives. And we limit ourselves when we fall into the trap of believing everyone else knew what to do.

Gen Z is grappling with finding stability, and when there's so much input real advice gets lost.



We have the world in the palm of our hands, but not right in front of us.

Gen Z is being fed the 24/7 news cycle on steroids. Every negative event in the world, and every negative article or claim about us is on full display. So when our feeds get overwhelming, life itself feels overwhelming and we forget to go out and live it.

When we have access to everything, we have to learn to not get pulled into just anything.



Your 20's are messy, and this has always been a fact.

The world today, now broadcast the good and the bad that comes from figuring it out.



To summarize:

Gen Z wants to know who they are
Your 20's are a time of constant change, messy is normal.
Gen Z has so much potential in our hands, but we need to prevent information overload.

You might be struggling to reach a certain goal.

So have you asked yourself why you have that goal to begin with?

We all want to lead better lives.

Have better health.

Being financial secure.

Have passions and interest.

Yet you might not be making progress towards them.

It's something I struggle with as well, the cures of overambition.

We want to make progress on everything.

Which prevents progress on anything.

There too much.

Too much that you might be trying to do.

Or too much all at once.

If you want to make rapid progress then simplify WHY you want that outcome.

Choose on category or goal.

And pursue it.

The other goals will still be there. But going one a time, helps guarantee you make progress.

Have you fallen to the Curse of Overambition?

Making a mistake, is inevitable. Which sucks, I know.







However, it's not the end of the world.



You might say the wrong thing.
React poorly to a situation.
Fail to take responsibility.
Make a poor judgement call.



Any number of things in all honesty, which can feel a bit overwhelming.



But these things happen to all of us.



And again, it's not the end of the world.



Let yourself have a little grace, a bit of compassion, towards yourself.



We're just figuring life out, and you can't avoid making a mistake.



What can you do instead?

Avoid repeating them.

Learn from your mistakes.
Understand how you got there.


Understand the effects of your actions and do better next time.



You can't control what happens, but instead you can control and decide what you do NEXT.

A company can drop the ball, but seeing Dell chuck it into the void is wild.


Following their Return To Office mandates, they are cutting into their hybrid perks.

Rubbing salt on the wound is now refusing to promote their remote members.

Which is 180 to their previous stance on remote work.


Is there a good reason to wanting people to come back to the office?

Sure, there are benefits to in office work.

Is this the wrong way to go about it, by quiet firing people?


Oh yeah.


When the CEO goes on record and claims they stand for flexibility, they make their stance clear.

When the same CEO doubles back and says, "actually, just kidding" it leaves everyone in limbo.

If you are leading a team, or one day hope to, take note.

Your actions will always speak louder than your words.

But your words just might be the straw that breaks the camels back within your teams.

Everyone who we consider to be an expert, was once a student.


They were inexperienced.
Probably uncertain as well.
Because we all have to start somewhere.


At one point Bruce Lee needed to throw his first punch.

Steve Jobs needed to create his first program.

Mr. Beast needed to make his first video.

Anyone you consider great today, was once a novice.

And that's inspiring.

You can get started on the road to something great, right now.


You won't be perfect at it.
You won't have all the answers.
Sometimes you won't even know how to start.


What matters is that you learn.

You learn and follow it up with action, intention, and practice.

Every great example, had a start line.

And you can create your own start line.
