Feeling like you have failed at life
Does anyone feel like they have failed at life because I have. Failing is not fun, no one likes to fail and as a person who really does not like to fail I can say that I feel unmotivated a lot due to the current circumstances we are in with Covid. Sometimes I think what is the point of still studying and working hard for my degree when I might end up with a minimum wage job or none at all, will it be worth it?, Will the world end before I even get to accomplish my goals and have my dream job? Sometimes I also wonder if I should take the easy way out but I always have to remind myself that “In life, what you really want will never come easy” so I keep trying in hopes that I will still come out on top.
Do constantly compare yourself to others because I do. I am 20 years old and I feel like I should have accomplished more already. I look around especially on social media and I would see persons my age and even at the ages of 18 and 19 who already have a steady income, their own home/apartment and more, basically have their lives together meanwhile I am no where near where I want to be in life. I remember scrolling through instagram one day and I saw a post that read “social media really have people in their 20s thinking they have failed at life when their life is just starting.” I also read the comments and I found that people who are 16 and even in their 30s feel the same way and I remember feeling a bit better knowing that I was not the only one who felt this way and I also came to the realization that the post was very true. The feeling that I failed at life started to decrease as I continue to read the post over again. My life is really now starting and I have time to get to where I want to be in life.
The message that I am trying to bring across with this blog is that if you can relate and are feeling the same way I just want to tell you that you certainly have not failed at life. Your life is now beginning just like mine and it is ok if you are still unsure on what you want to do in life, you are not alone. There are persons around the world who are even in their 50s that are now achieving their goals; for example some are going back to school to finish their education and so much more. There is still so much time to be and receive everything you want. Therefore as Jordin Sparks sang in her song- “One Step At A Time” to just “Take one step at a time, there is no need to rush” (Full song here: Jordin Sparks — One Step At A Time (Official Video) — Bing video). Lastly social media is not what it seems, everything is not real so do not compare yourselves to others whether it is persons on social media or those around you. Your time will come eventually just keep trying and do not give up and also allow what is going on in the world to discourage you from achieving your goals. Live your life to the fullest.
I hope this blog spoke to you and removed the thoughts of you being a failure and encourage you to keep going. YOU GOT THIS!!
