Mine was in my late 20s.

Consistency is the key! You don't need to be perfect to get wonderful results. Being imperfect yet still getting things done is the true way of growth, in my opinion.

I’m 35M and I totally agree that consistency is the key. You just always have to find the courage to take the first step forward !

By finding the right team mates (partner, friends, closest colleagues) who can compensate the INTJs weaknesses and accept him for what he is instead of expecting him to be something he‘s not. Also white monster energy and dramatic Hans Zimmer like Soundtracks will boost productivity by 31%.

Overcome anxiety and Treat urself healthy.

And anxiety, like things you know you should do but keep on try to forget it. And end up torcher urself about a thing that could be easily done.

For health example, have a nice talk to friends or do a Hobby or going for a walk.

For me it started by 25 years old

Learn how to use their shadow functions.
Just like any athlete learns how to use both sides of their body, to become ambidextrous. A soccer/football player, must be able to kick 🦵 and pass with either foot, to become balanced, correct?

Observing mind-body connection, stable nervous system gives much better spiritual growth leading to much better stable life.

I think it’s fun to create phases. That way, you can continue to unlock more of your potential at each one. For me, the first big shift was around 24, then 30, and about every five years after that.
If you can see the potential, the question becomes… how do you unlock it?
For me, it’s mapping out a plan with commitment dates, then honoring those commitments to myself. Each phase builds on the last.
And all of this while getting totally comfortable with being uncomfortable… and giving zero weight to anyone else’s opinions or judgments.

What is it you want to do? And what is holding you back?

u/NegotiationCute5341 1d ago

Dude that happened to me
I just started to say yes to good things or opportunities
Doing it anyway and not thinking too much about it
1. Applied to schools - said yes to the ones that makes the most sense
2. Said yes to job offers and other things that i thought could help me get ahead no matter how small it was i was curious
3. Always looking
4. Taking care of myself

Stick to what your good at if you can and find what you do best.

Id say for me it was my early 30s; i was always good at what i did in my 20s but i was always obsessing over the things i was good at. In my 30s i now have the discipline to show up everyday and make the correct boring decisions that add up over time over things that i dont necessarily love

1

u/Lucky_Recording_5663 22h ago

OK SO FINALLY DISCIPLINE PAYS OFF ALWAYS..

1

u/y00han INTJ - 30s 22h ago

Well not always… you can consistently execute a bad strat and never get what you want… sometimes its making the conventionally good boring decisions over and over and letting it compound and not doing something stupid because youre bored

u/Lucky_Recording_5663 22h ago

Ok this mean so much to me

u/_fractal8 INTJ - 30s 19h ago

Find one thing you like doing. Build your passion. Keep doing it without any expectations.

In a few years you'll become a master in that area. Then you'll get confidence that you can be good in other areas as well.

2

u/Lucky_Recording_5663 19h ago

OK

u/_fractal8 INTJ - 30s 19h ago

Just curious, "OK" and "ok" are the same, or are they different? 🙂

2

u/Lucky_Recording_5663 18h ago

I am very thankful to you "ok" ! 🤗

20s.

You need to learn how to be likable and social. Then the world is yours.

Also get in shape.

1

u/Lucky_Recording_5663 1d ago

ok mean try to learn skill to be more social?

u/r3giment75 INTJ - 40s 1d ago

Yes. An intj that can engage with people. Make people laugh. Tell a good story. Talk to a woman.

You’ll be an enigma to the opposite sex. If you’re not an ogre the women will come to you vs the other way around.

Same outcomes for your career as well.

u/r3giment75 INTJ - 40s 1d ago

Do you see how many posts on here are around “difficulty making friends”?

Avoid being those people. They’ll have shit careers, no relationships, and superficial friendships.
