And today, we're looking at common life realizations that many people don't fully understand until after turning 30.

Back in high school and college, even the smallest things can turn into full blown drama.

Petty arguments, messy friendships and emotional rollercoasters felt like what life is all about.

This behavior can carry into our 20s, too.

But once you hit your 30s, drama just feels exhausting.

Between careers, paying bills and maintaining relationships, who even has the time or patience for pointless nonsense?

It's easier to step back and protect your sanity, because at this point, peace becomes the real flex.

Where many thrive on conflict in their younger years, the 30s are when most of us realize life's too short for unnecessary dramas.

By the time most of us reach our 20s, we've faced the pressures of high school, college, and

After being judged almost every step of the way, it starts to feel like people just have it out for you.

Why do you suppose I just hurled a chair at your head, Neiman?

But by our 30s, it's easier to separate the good from the bad.

And sometimes people genuinely try to help by offering advice.

I want every media guy, every player's rep, everybody, to see you for what you are.

The best kept secret in the NFL at this age.

Experience teach us to trust instead of doubt.

Should you blindly trust everyone in front of you?

Because honestly, most people do want you to succeed.

Controlling our vices sounds laughable in our 20s.

After all, those are supposed to be your wildest years, right?

And if these aren't contained by the time you hit 30, then good luck shaking them off.

Everything from smoking, weak diet, alcohol consumption, reckless spending, bad sleep, and

living in excess becomes less inconvenient and more a part of your lifestyle.

And even after they're identified as something to resolve, giving them up feels like letting go a part of what makes you who you are.

So if there are habits you want to Change.

We suggest starting now, before they become a permanent problem.

At some point in our youth, most of us start seeing ourselves as the main character in our lives.

This mindset can foster a sense of entitlement.

But as we get older, we learn that the world doesn't owe us anything.

At the same time, many are afraid to ask for more, whether out of rejection or to avoid conflict.

But you can't get what you don't ask for.

By our 30s, it becomes clear, sometimes painfully, that the phrase ask and you shall receive is more than just words.

This isn't limited to a specific area in life either.

Nothing from love, career or new opportunities is handed out.

If you're over 30, just the thought of an uninterrupted eight hour night sounds like an absolute well dream.

As responsibilities pile up, family, chores, work, bills, and

everything in between, sleep is a luxury only a few can afford.

For the most part, the sandman shows up too late and the early bird shows up way too soon.

In our 20s, staying up late and waking up early was a no brainer.

But by our 30s, the very idea sounds absurd.

These days, a late night party usually involves getting into bed early and drifting off into a sleep that hopefully ends without the dreaded sound of an alarm clock.

The importance of Family when we were younger, spending time with the family becomes secondary and sometimes even embarrassing.

In our 20s, finally, tasting freedom feels like stepping into a whole new world with no rules or boundaries.

Naturally, family often gets pushed to the background.

But it's in our 30s when we realize what's most important.

When times get rough, or when you need a safe space, it's usually your family you turn to.

People raising families of their own begin to appreciate their parents and parental figures in a whole new light.

In our 30s, being with the people closest to us becomes what life is really about.

for many, it's one of the most important lessons a person can have.

Put into perspective how small your youth is in the grand scheme of things, it's usually after 30 that health starts to demand attention.

And with it comes the reality that staying well requires a full time commitment.

So if your back starts to crack, stomach begins to rumble, or vision becomes blurry, Then congratulations, your 30s are in full swing.
