30s is indeed a painful age to reach. There's a reason many celebs have checked out at 28/29. 30s is so depressing that no matter what you achieve it's like well it's expected or it's so late so no one is impressed.
- Made a great company. Big deal, he's in his 30s.
- Cured cancer. Pfft. Einsted redefined relativity at 26.
- Booked a trip somewhere. Checking off yet another goal off of the bucketlist.
- Built a great body. Well he's just desperately trying to hold on to youth.
I mean it's not even 30 it's 3O. The O stands for Over.
A solution to that attitude is to do things not in a race to please others, or for the sake of doing something impressive, but for their inherent value. Doing so might require a change of one's personal value system, but it's probably a change for the better. Extreme example, but curing cancer to impress people is kind of missing the point.
