HOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL TEENAGE LIFE.

Hey Durlinggg!!!. Trust you’re having a wonderful week. Today, I decided to write a blog post on how you can enjoy your teenage years. Being a teenager is like riding a roller coaster of emotions. It’s not as easy as most adult think because you, yourself don’t understand how you feel and sometimes you let your emotions control you. I also don’t have it all figured out. Regardless, I think the best time to enjoy your life and have fun is when you’re a teenager. The bitter truth is that you can only be a teenager once in a lifetime so it’s better you make use of your teenage years. Your teenage years are a time for exploration and discovery. In fact, you can learn a lot about yourself, your passions, and the world, all while having a blast.

WORKING ON YOURSELF AND PERSONALITY.

As a teenager, you need to learn to deal with your insecurities. The earlier you understand that you can never be perfect, the easier for you. “The reason why we struggle with insecurities is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” and I totally agree with this. Social media has contributed is one of reasons why most people feel insecure. Stop wishing you look like someone else. Be confident with who you are. Love your flaws, Love your imperfections. That’s what make you who you’re and just so you know... you can only be a better version of yourself and not somebody else.

• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, don’t be afraid to try new things.

• Learn to conquer your fears.

• Practice gratitude. Be grateful for little things because little things count.

WORKING ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE.

• Surround yourself with people who will love you for who you’re. Friends who will motivate you to do better.

• Avoid all forms of toxic relationships because it’ll completely drain your mental health.

• Have a mentor. Have someone you can talk to, someone who is ever ready to hear you out and give you advice on any thing.

• Spend time with your family. Our families play important roles in our lives. Spend time with your siblings and parents.

HAVING FUN.

• Travel. I know this may look unrealistic to a Nigerian teenager but you can actually start from your hometown. Visit your hometown, spend time with your grandparents and learn about your culture.

• Explore the city you reside in. Look for restaurants, parks or places to visit in the city you reside in.

• Practice meditation and also learn to keep fit.

• Learn how to drive. I don’t know about you but for me, I feel like there’s this confidence you get when you know how to drive. So I’ll advise you learn how to drive.

• Pull an all-nighter. Watch movies, listen to music, eat and have fun.

• Go out with your friends. Visit parks, malls... just have fun 😚😌

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

• Work hard to get at least a bachelor degree(B.sc). Education is important.

• Discover your talents and work it.

• Discover your career path. Don’t let anyone pressure you to go for something you don’t like.

• Study that dream course, go to that dream university.

• Learn to how to make money work for you. Acquire financial knowledge. Read books on financial education.

• Set realistic goals. Start small so that you’ll be able to achieve a lot.

The world is yours, take control of it. Wishing you a successful journey. Please enjoy every bit of your journey and don’t forget to make memories.
