Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram – Society puts so much pressure on us to accomplish and achieve a certain number of things by a certain age or “stage” in life. To have everything figured out well before we are in our 30s. To have this credential, that degree, this job, that salary.
We let all the “should haves” dictate what we are meant to do at any given time. We invariably compare ourselves to others in our age groups or fields and allow someone else’s success to get into our heads and get us down because maybe we haven’t made as much money, had as big of an impact or have as many followers as So-and-so.
But here’s the thing. Everyone is at a different part of their journey than you are on yours. Comparison is the thief of joy. Instead of comparing yourself to a friend or family member who has “done so much”, use that as a source of inspiration. Uplift those who earned their success. Criticizing and badmouthing is the most negative and unproductive way to go about anything. Let it empower you to find your calling, and then do the work to go after it. And remember that elevating someone else doesn’t take away from what YOU have to offer the world.
Self discovery is a journey. Purpose is not found under a rock. You evolve, which means it’s OKAY to let your dreams and goals evolve too.✨
Living life according to my terms has worked out for me pretty well so far- through the ups and downs, successes and failures. Remember that you don’t need anyone else’s validation.
Forget the “shoulds”. Don’t let someone else decide how you should live YOUR life. You’re not “behind” in life. There’s no timeline we all must follow. 7 billion people can’t do everything in the same order. It’s YOUR life, YOUR schedule and everything is right on time. Cheers!🍷
