Life happens right? Things get complicated, we take detours, we lose track of our goals and years go by and then we realized where did all of those years go? We look back and regret all the time lost and think about different scenarios of how life would be right now if you didn't get lost. Honestly, sometimes we can feel like losers but you know what? It's okay.
Go back to where you started. You are allowed to have just ONE pity party and then you have to get up and face this like a boss. Yes, you messed but so what? Get ready again to launch your career, business, and overall your life. Fall in love again with the things that made you go for the goals that you had in the first place. I know that if you have the passion for it, there's nothing that can make you stop again. Show the world what you are made of. I've stopped my goals but the irony is that I have been still going. While I stopped working towards my long-term goals, I've achieved short terms. I've learned and I've grown.
Don't let anyone discourage you... EVER. Yes, they have their life together, they are successful, but your path is not the same as them. I know it is really frustrating when we meet that type of person that wants to show off how successful they are and you feel like you're standing still. "How is it going?" you ask and they reply with "my life is going great.. I'm working for this magazine and I have more than a 10,000 readers and it's amazing" You are left thinking again of how "bad" your life is. Please don't be discouraged and remember that life is not a competition. We compliment each other.
At some point in our lives, you meet the ones who encourage you. The ones who will support you no matter what. If I hadn't gone off track, I might never had met the most incredible people I have in my life. I work and study and right now I dare to say that the people I have met at my job have been some of the the most supportive and genuine friends I have had. Friends are really important in my life - you never know who that person knows or how they can compliment your life and how you can compliment theirs. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe if I had stayed on track, I might never had met them and I'm really blessed for that.
We feel defeated, but if we get back up and make the decision to better ourselves and to achieve our goals. We'll get there and we will live the life we have always dreamed of. We just can't give up because we owe it to ourselves. We didn't lost all that time either. We've learned, grew personally and spiritually, and met new people. Perhaps it was all meant to be.
