Finding Personal Clarity Amidst Social Media

To build a fulfilling life, it's essential to focus inward rather than getting distracted by social media. This involves creating a vision of what one wants life to look and feel like and making gradual changes towards that vision. There's an acknowledgment that achieving a sense of balance is unrealistic; instead, optimization of one’s current circumstances is more practical. This perspective emphasizes that it's okay to excel in different roles—such as being a mother, a professional, or a friend—at various times without the pressure to be everything all at once.
