I feel that a lot of my peers are much more accomplished than me in life. We are all the same age and it’s so demotivating. Any advice?
it is important to remember that everyone is different; therefore, everyone has different ideas of what they think ‘accomplished’ or ‘successful’ is. try to set your own personal goals which are short term and managable and remain focussed on them and you should start to feel more motivated.
Be your own person and not someone else.
you can not measure your own success by other people. it’s your own journey do not base that on other people. You need to celebrate any success you have no matter how small.
Hi Hana, We can all feel this sometimes in our careers. But remember: "A 4 year degree attained after 7 years is still a degree. A graduation at the age of 50 is still a graduation. A Mercedes bought at the age of 65 is still a Mercedes. Don't let people bully you with their timelines of success. You can do it” You can do it.
