How can I get the most out of my 20s? In the first episode of our How to be the Post-College G.O.A.T. series, we talk about how trying, failing, and trying again is the recipe for success in the decade of your 20s.

Paul's Outline for the 20s


The 20s: Experimenting, trying lots of different things and styles, figuring out strengths and weaknesses
Mantra: What different arenas and what different styles of operating and leading can I experiment with?
Practices
Work hard on sexual purity and lean hard into God’s grace if and when you fail
Develop a good devotional life that will build a foundation for a lifetime
Success is not as critical as experiencing and experimenting; fail well and often
Develop a few potentially life-long friendships
Be proactive about your future.  Don’t wait to be invited.  Seek opportunities.
At the same time, start reading C.S. Lewis’ The Inner Ring once a year.
Invest all you are able into your retirement plan; get free money if it’s matched!

Start figuring out how your ethnicity impacts your personhood/ leadership. It's part of Emotional Intelligence but not always included.
Figure out where you are on Kitano/Daniels assimilation/ethnic identity chart.
