Quarter Life Crisis

I talked about financial crisis, this one is called psychological crisis which is faced by almost every individual, when he passes out of his college, enters the real world, and asks himself a question .

Will i be successful or not when i am 40 ?

Precisely this question is root of Quarter life crisis, go through the link to read more about it.
But, for some people who have been exceptional during their academic career, this question kills them. They get too much worried because the path during their academic career was pretty much straightforward. Now, in real world, there is no definite path to success. They have always proved themselves as the best, but now they don't know, how to proceed further. They get anxious about the future, some times so anxious that they forget their present. They loose patience to wait for the results of their hardwork. They try to explore every option available, to find success, to find their identity, to find themselves.

What are the solutions to Quarter life crisis ? I thought a lot about it, i came with some points which help coping with Quarter life crisis.

1. Limit your options : If we have too many options open for a career or for a life, we get anxious. We switch jobs too early to actually reap the benefits of our hardwork. Best way to limit your career options is getting married and having kids.

2. Don't be fearful about being a loser : When you win at everything, you loose the ability to cope with situations when you loose. That ability is the biggest loss a winner can have. There is no harm being a loser, losers are the best people in this world, atleast they are cool, carefree and not fretful like the winners. There is no harm, if you end up as a total loser. If you look at it, a total loser has the best life, he can just smoke pot around a beach side.

3. Physical exercise/ Yoga : Other way to cope is doing physical exercise or deep breathing exercise, meditation or yoga.

If all these do not work for you, you can also leave all consumerism and start your own Fight Club. Go on with the link, to read more about it.
