In today’s world people are constantly trying to do more, be more, and live up to a certain standard of success. We work more, go to the gym more, spend thousands on procedures to look a certain way, and run ourselves into burnout trying to achieve a standard of success that society sets. But who set this standard? What exactly is it and why are we even chasing these standards if we and spinning our wheels and wearing ourselves out to only be exhausted and not happy when we achieve this so-called standard of success?
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you are enough and that the way you are now is perhaps the way you are meant to be? While it is true that we should be looking for ways to do our best and look for ways to achieve goals that we set for our selves, it is also true that we should not drive our selves to the point of exhaustion so that we are not able to enjoy what is set in front of us.
When I say you are enough what I mean is that you have worked hard to get to where you are and as an individual, you should stop and enjoy what you have achieved. Each person has their special talents that were given to us and had a unique way to contribute to society. Not everyone has to work in the same field or work to achieve the c-suite in the business world to be successful. It is important that you celebrate your achievements, work towards your goals, and learn to accept yourself as you are.
Being yourself on purpose is important, accepting your flaws, accepting your body the way it is, and looking for ways to utilize your strengths is important. Every person is placed in a specific place and at a specific time for a reason. Therefore, for this reason, it is time to accept your challenges, live your life with gratitude, and most importantly when you look in the mirror that you love yourself.
Bliss + You
