It’s like you have people out there who are so unsettled, unplanned and undetermined but they still want to compare me with them. The fun fact is they are some “distant” relative whom they are “close” with.
But chill guys, I’m not going to bother about that…
Because, I know where my life is heading.
I know how it’s going to turn out. It’s going to be Awesome!
It’s okay if you don’t know exactly how life is going to turn out. Not everything will happen as expected. Not everything will be as well as predicted. Somethings will turn out to be better. That doesn’t mean you are falling behind, failing or undecided. Just remember the best is yet to come.
It’s really gladdening to hear that you’ve made up your mind to focus on your personal development despite outside pressures of comparison placed on you, that’s no easy feat!
I’m replying here as I do resonate with your ethos, which I think can be summed up quite nicely with a quote from Forrest Gump:
“Life is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get.”
Just as you can’t tell what flavour is inside a chocolate until you bite into it, you don’t know what experiences, challenges or opportunities life has in store for you until it comes. So we should accept and embrace the unknowns that life throws at us, and have faith that indeed, the best is yet to come. Hope you can reach your destination in life soon OP!
Hii @lovelychange, this is such a grounded and hopeful reflection—thank you for sharing it . It sounds like you’ve had to deal with unfair comparisons and expectations, especially from people who doesn’t really even know your journey. That can feel so invalidating, but I love how you turned it around with confidence and clarity: you know where you’re heading, and it’s going to be awesome .
Your reminder that “not everything will happen as expected, but some things will turn out even better” really hits deep. It’s a powerful truth, especially in a world that constantly pushes timelines and comparisons. You’re absolutely right, uncertainty doesn’t mean failure. It just means life is unfolding in its own time.
Thanks for putting that out there. It’s something a lot of people probably needed to hear today🌟
Hey @lovelychange it is so refreshing to hear your belief about how life is going to be awesome and to have a strong conviction on where your life is heading. Keep that up.
Yes, sometimes, we do not know how life takes us in different directions. But it really does help to keep going and stay curious to what is to come. Again it might not be easy all the time, but that is certainly not a refection of who we are.
I love your affirmations to yourself! Life does get sucky sometimes, and we bump into not so nice people, comments, or experiences along the way.
But things do look up — we can’t predict everything but our path is not a straight line, but windy and an adventure that will take us where we need to be Thank you for sharing not just your frustrations but your hopes
I hear your clarity, that deep-down belief that you do know where you’re heading, even if things aren’t always straightforward. That confidence is powerful.
And you’re right , life doesn’t always unfold as planned, but that doesn’t mean you’re lost or lacking. Sometimes, the detours bring the best parts. The path is still yours, and the story isn’t done yet. Hang in there and enjoy the journey, many more beautiful experiences are coming.
@lovelychange hey you have such a powerful mindset OP! It sucks that some people really love to talk like they’ve got it all figured out yeah But glad you’ve got your vision Keep going, rooting for you!
rooting for you op!
