Recent college graduates definitely need to focus on their goals in life (professional, personal, family and more) and think about that when finding a healthy balance for their time. It's challenging though, when many twenty-somethings go out multiple nights a week while trying to accomplish so many goals at the same time. I want to have fun, but am still finding the balance that will work in the long-run without burning out. Thanks for the thoughts Reggie!

Try to figure out what your mission is in life. Do something that you enjoy. Find a pursuit that makes you feel valued. Stress can be a positive motivating force in your life, provided that you feel that you are pursuing positive goals. Lots of my contemporaries burned out after 20 years, and needed to find a new purpose to keep going. It's helpful to know that ahead of time and to prepare for it. That's part of the mission of our team; to inform those of you in college and grad schools about the issues which will undoubtedly arise down the road, so that you folks do not make the same mistakes that our Baby Boomer Generation made.
