Given โs LOOOOOONG IG hiatus I feel this is especially relevant! ?!? It is not uncommon to feel there isnโt enough time.. But hereโs the thing.. Thereโs both always enough time AND never enough time.
There is ALWAYS enough time because through your own will, determination, and perseverance you will accomplish exactly what you are supposed to accomplish each day. There are a limited number of hours in a day. Somewhere in there you must (at the very least) eat and sleep! The day is but so long and you will always accomplish as much as you can on that particular day.
The reason there is also NEVER enough time is because, unfortunately, we often place unrealistic expectations on ourselves regarding HOW MUCH we SHOULD accomplish in any particular span of time.
Bottom line: your path belongs to you and you alone. Itโs route and time to destination is determined by your unique set of skills, challenges, resources, unexpected bumps, personal desires, wants, wishes, and preferences that are unique to you. This is why comparison to othersโ โgoalsโ, โaccomplishmentsโ and beating yourself up for not being at the same place as others is an exercise in futility. Unless they reveal it, you genuinely have no clue what goals, desires, etc they may have feel that need to accomplish. No one can FORCE their path to move faster. And no one can *sustainably* regularly FORCE themselves to do more than they are capable of in any one finite span of time. Continuously attempting to do so and beating yourself up for not meeting these arbitrary goals becomes a source of self-doubt, distress, anxiety, and burnout.. Surely, thereโs nothing wrong with looking to others for inspiration. However, BEWARE, there is a thin line between observation for inspiration and observation for degradation (of self). To to that end, do what YOU can. Do the best that YOU can given your unique circumstances. .. and whatever you are unable to do today, know that thereโs always tomorrow to keep plugging away at creating the life you want for yourself. โค
