6 Signs You’re Doing Better than You Think
You’re only stuck in neutral if you choose to be
If you’re anything like me, you’re your own worst critic.
You beat yourself up for every little mistake and feel like you’re never good enough. But the truth is, we are often our own harshest critics, and we’re not always seeing the whole picture.
No matter what you think, you’re probably doing better than you realize. Here are 6 signs indicating things are going well in your life.
You don’t compare yourself to others
We all want to do our best, and being successful in life is important, but it’s easy to forget that comparing ourselves to others does not contribute anything meaningful.
Everyone has their own path, and even though you may feel like you’re behind others, remember that you have your own timing and pace, so measure yourself based on the goals you set for yourself rather than how quickly those around you are achieving theirs. Success comes from self-belief, hard work, and determination, so focus on what you need to do rather than fixating on everyone else’s progress, as this won’t do anything but have negative feelings of guilt or frustration.
