Are You Getting Fallen Behind?

Life can be hard sometimes. You might feel like you are not where you want to be, or you are falling behind others.

It’s normal to have these thoughts and doubts in your early 20s.

You might see your friends having fun and living their dreams, while you are still figuring out what you really want in life.

Some people might say that this is the feedback loop of hell. They might say that these thoughts make you lose sight of what matters.

But guess what? Those problems are not really yours.

I know - it’s hard.

It’s uncomfortable and scary to compare yourself to others and feel like you are not good enough.

But let me tell you something, friend. You are not alone.

You don’t have to measure your life by someone else’s standards.

You have your own life, and it’s up to you to make it awesome.

Life begins when you decide to do things your way and stick to them.

You see, having big goals and dreams means chasing big things.

And when you’re chasing and doing big things, you’re going to stand out.

And as the saying goes, “the nail that stands out gets hammered.”

You’ll be hammered with criticism and doubts from those around you.

But I’d rather get hammered for having big dreams than settle for a life of regret and mediocrity.

All that hammering does is forge you into a better human being.

When you’re dedicated to being successful, your dedication will come off as an obsession to others.

So, embrace being the nail that stands out.

In the end, the hammering will only make you stronger.

Don’t be afraid to stand out and let your obsession fuel your success.

Alright, talk to you later.
