You're not behind because you now have a list of things in your life to upgrade. In fact, you're ahead of everyone who is still avoiding asking these questions. Pick one thing from the list, the one that feels most doable this week. Do it. Then another next week. And another. These very small actions almost always add up to big shifts, not only in your life but in how you feel about your life (not so mid anymore is it?).

“Thank you for your application. We'll be in touch." Ever found one of those emails in your inbox? Then weeks later, they are still not in touch? We get it. Nobody trains you for the job search marathon. Yet here you are...job searching in your 20's in a rough economy.

So you’ve crossed the stage, tossed your cap, and entered adulthood. So why do you feel so unsure?

Why do we, your parents and society, keep insisting the 20s are the best years of your life and that we would do anything to go back to being 25. Would we? Really now, would we?

A friend, who works in education, recently told me that 50 principals, in a nearby school district of 209 schools, are planning to quit this year. That is almost 25% of the district’s leaders quitting in one year.
