you’re not behind in life

Society does a great job at making us feel inadequate. Many of us have bought into the illusion that there is a certain timeline we should all be on in order to be successful: get rich by 25, be married by 30, work until you retire in your 50s. Especially in the age of social media, it feels like there is always more we should be doing. In this video, we're talking about how the illusion of 'being behind' & the pressure to keep up with others actually can get in the way of us building our dream lives.

I just saw this quote today - "If God is making you wait, then be prepared to receive more than what you asked for." ♥♥

Idk why 27 was literally the age my younger self said I would have it all….. currently I’m 27 and I’m just taking life day by day

[ayaelzakzouk]

got done with studying, did my skincare and went to youtube literally to watch a video of yours to remind myself to enjoy and not stress myself excessively. Trying to remind myself that I'm doing enough and that god is generous regardless of how much or how little work we do

I remember my senior year in college. I was told that I had to stay another semester, thus postponing my graduation. I cried so much, and felt like shit watching kids from my high school graduate. Now, I’m here about 7 years later, I’m my career, with a high degree. Many people who graduated before me aren’t doing half of what I do. You NEVER know how the cards may lay. Just trust the process.

I really appreciated this. Because of severe depression I dropped out of my junior year of highschool. I had to start it all over again in person last year. When people ask where I’m going to college I always feel embarrassed when I have tell them that I got held back and I’m still a highschool senior. Seeing all of my classmates graduate in 2022 made me feel so left behind, and really messed with my brain. This year really forced me to accept where I am. I’m on my own path. Loved the vid Lynette

Growing up I thought by 27 I would be married with kids living in the home of my dreams . 31 and none of that has happened YET. I’ve finally surrendered to the fact that life doesn’t always happen the way you planned but that doesn’t mean that your less than or not enough. Everything is happening in divine timing just breathe and ENJOY life

I'm 25 and dating my soulmate, moved to a new state across the country, and am working as a pilot. I STILL feel behind in life, and I'm following my dreams. I think social media is the problem, and my own perceptions. Not my actual life or "success".

[normalouis]

For me it's not dating but getting a good job. I took a mini gap break after college for 5 months, I've been searching for a job for almost 2 months and I constantly feel devastated and behind. Not realizing that it's less than a year since I graduated.

Update: I got a job offer last week at a top company in my industry:), for anyone who sees this, your time will come

The feeling of being behind is merely just an illusion stemming from a program that was planted in the mind. You must remove yourself from distractions and go deep within the mind in order to overcome this programming. I believe in you.

[kejsida]

for me I feel behind in life mostly because of my strict parents and feeling like I wasted my teen years. I'm 21 now and I'm trying my best to trust that I am where I need to be, even if my circumstances aren't desirable.

[Motherofpearl_]

It took many years but I’m finally starting to enjoy the journey. I’m exactly where I need to be right now and I’m sure it’s only going to get better .

[CreativepreneurJourney]

I agree people need to avoid society and focus on their happiness.

I think my biggest struggle is finding that balance of doing enough for myself to feel like I’m thriving. Getting in tune with that is so so difficult for me because i either go “all-in” & put so much expectations on myself, or I do the opposite. And find myself not doing anything. Both ways I feel bad, and I start to overthink the little things like, “should i plan my day for tomorrow or be intuitive” then I start stressing. Meditation is what is helping me feel a little more present & still at the moment.

I know this pressure all too well. Doesn't matter what gets done, there's always pressure to have and do more. I've been struggling with anxiety for years now and I believe that this is the direct cause. I am currently practicing gratitude so that I can appreciate what I have. There is so much life to live and we cannot sit here and think of all the things that we don't have. God owes us nothing, yet he provides everything. Although I still have challenges with doubt and anxiety, I am working hard towards loving the life I have, being patient, and enjoying the journey.💜

I was literally just thinking about this yesterday and how I should cut myself some slack. I am in such a good place now vs a few years ago. I can really look back and be grateful for shifting my reality.
You look really good on my tv btw. Never noticed that cute tattoo by your collarbone.

[Mr.Sance-]

I definitely HAVE to shift into my desired timeline. Listening to more spiritual content creators I noticed about mastering my internal so I can manifest any external. Everyone's timeline is unique to them. To a certain extent, if anything you're doing isn't beneficial then don't do it!!! Investing in yourself is one of the best things you can do!! Thanks for the advice. 🙏

This is something I struggle with a lot. I'm in my late 20s, no job, no car, and I dumped my ex during the pandemic when I lost my job. I haven't completed my Major and I struggle to do anything anymore.

[samslayerr]

I’ve been stuck and feeling like I’m not where I want to be. Thank you for these videos they have been calming my anxiety. I’ve always felt lost and I hope I will find my way some day.

Guys, the answer for a lot of what causes stress in society is capitalism. Read up on the concepts of “alienation” and “atomization”. A lot of videos like these, although good, only describe parts of capitalism without naming the actual problem. It makes a lot of things a lot clearer.
