In a few months I'll be turning 30. This has been the cause of a good bit of reflection for me, as I imagine it is for many people -- the standard what-am-I-doing-with-my-life? stuff, nothing special.
Doc Searls had some words on this issue today that I found particularly heartening:
Everything you know me for I've done since I was 50.

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.

At 30 I was scrambling a bit too much to be other than mildly depressed that I could no longer say I was in my 20s.
35 was much rougher, at least for a while.
However, 36 has been a breeze so far, despite equal upheaval. Partially I've gotten used to the concept, and partially I've realized it's not a race. It's good to take stock, but not good to do it other than in the context of "so, what's next?"
No biggie really - its all about attiude, right ... right...please?
And if it helps, I believe I turn 30 before you - in 6 weeks no less...
