I was the kid who was chosen last in P.E. I was one of the few who didn't make it to a "UC" for college. I was always trying to "keep up with the Joneses". "What car do you drive?" "Who do you work for?" "Where do you live?" "What do you do?" "Who are you?" I asked myself one day. And that's when I started working on myself. Things started to change when I shifted my energy to what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be, and what made me happy. When I focused on myself without seeking validation from others, I felt the happiest — and that’s what ultimately led me to more success, more friends, more praise, and more respect. So if you're feeling stuck like I was, It's okay to take a step back. It's okay to not "fit in" and be different. It's okay to prioritize your happiness and well-being first. In the end, it's your life. You should do what makes you happy. View post on LinkedIn
