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
  1. Work hard on sexual purity and lean hard into God’s grace if and when you fail
  2. Develop a good devotional life that will build a foundation for a lifetime
  3. Success is not as critical as experiencing and experimenting; fail well and often
  4. Develop a few potentially life-long friendships
  5. Be proactive about your future.  Don’t wait to be invited.  Seek opportunities.
  6. At the same time, start reading C.S. Lewis’ The Inner Ring once a year.
  7. Invest all you are able into your retirement plan; get free money if it’s matched!
  8. If you are an ethnic minority:
  • If you’re mainly in an ethnic specific setting, move beyond and vice-versa.
  • 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.
