Different paths hold different values and challenges; focusing on your gains rather than losses is crucial. Comparing your journey to others may lead to unnecessary feelings of deficiency as everyone faces unforeseen obstacles and setbacks on their unique paths. A seemingly smooth start for others does not guarantee a trouble-free future, as challenges and crises can arise at any point. Embrace your path's unique value and remember that each individual's journey has its own set of difficulties and enviable aspects.
We have a lot of opportunities to feel behind in our 20s, especially when it comes to our careers, our finances and our relationships. In todays episode we break down why so many of us (roughly 80% of 20 something year olds) feeling like we're falling short of expectations, as well as how we can manage these feelings and enjoy our path through life without comparing it to someone others. We discuss:
- The competitiveness of this generation
- The wunderkind phenomena
- Career anxiety and starting over
- Relationship and dating inexperience
- The pandemic skip
- How to feel more sure of your own path and progress
AND, we hear from you, the listeners, about your experiences. Listen now!
