I’d rather fail knowing I’ve tried, than to never take the risk and find out.
——————————————
For as long as I’ve been an “adult” I’ve never really had a 9-5, I left school at 16, joined the army, that’s far from a 9-5, worked as a contractor in the building industry, worked as a self employed personal trainer, worked online and failed working online also.
I hope I never give off the illusion that I’m killing it, and I’m super successful financially, because I’m not, but working a 9-5 sitting at a computer on someone else’s times has never been something I’ve strived for and or ever wanted.
While I’m unsuccessful on the financial side of my life, I’m successful in lots of other areas, I’m happy, I lead a life I love and never want to give up, I’ve travelled and been culturally educated, I’ve taught myself to surf! I’ve taught myself everything I know inside and outside the gym.
This last year has been one of the hardest mentally, because I see others buying houses, getting promotions and I compare what I’ve got to them, when In reality, we are all on our own timeline, while I’ve felt like a failure, other have looked towards me and said how great my life looks, “you get to travel so much, I’m so jealous!” “Omg that looks so fun, maybe one day I’ll be able to do that”
I’ve moved passed the notion of feeling like a failure and realised we are all on our own timeline, while you guys may look at others and wish you have what they have, your opportunity is just yet to come because “god” “life” has other plans for you.
I’m 26, my life is just beginning and so is most of yours, focus on your own timeline, not someone else’s.
We are early, we aren’t late, we are always, just on time.
Have a great day, change your perspective.
