People talk about finding your path and developing yourself in such a romantic way. Especially on social media – and that’s where most of that conversation is held, I dare say.
You hear and see how fun it is and how beautiful that feeling is when you’ve finally reached your destination, so you’re like: “That sounds fun, I’ll give it a go!”.
Yup, and then, after the initial motivation shrinks you begin to experience ‘not so nice things’. Like your parents suddenly being like: “*This* is what you want to do?” and your friends not understanding how you want more in life than them. And your family being impatient because you’re taking longer than they expected. You feel the pressure. You feel the judgement.
And all of that is discouraging. And you start blaming yourself. Maybe you are the problem? Why is everyone around you so happy and on their path? Including people on social media? Like, you just don’t get it.
What are you doing wrong? Maybe finding your place in this world and finding joy is not for you afterall.
This is your reminder to draw your energy back in and focus on yourself.
Of course it looks like everyone else is doing better than you. This is because everyone can choose how much of their lives they share with you. Not only on social media, also in converstaions and the day to day life. It makes sense that they mostly show the good things, because they might fear judgement. Or they feel a pressure to be happy all the time.
The thing is, you think that’s their life. That they are happily on their path. And you become so obsessed with other people’s lives that you forget your own. And not only that, you also blame yourself and feel bad for not being where others are.
Pause.
Come back to yourself. Remind yourself of your path. And focus on you only. If you prioritize yourself and have your path & your life as your number one thing in life, then you will notice that the others suddenly become less important. And even your family’s nagging or your friends’ misunderstanding, which bugged you out so much, evaporates. Because it’s you that you’re focused on.
The world is not as it seems. Remind yourself of that and don’t fall for fancy “before and after” pictures or stories, because you never know what’s behind someone’s surface. Don’t compare yourself.
Focus on you alone and your flourishing journey will unfold with ease.
