Spend enough time online and it’s easy to feel like you’re doing life wrong.
Marketers are trained to press on your pain points.
Their job is to make you feel like something’s missing.
Influencers, gurus, podcasters, entrepreneurs…
They remind you that you could be doing more.
Working more. Earning more. Having more.
Being more.
Then there’s the endless social comparisons...
My bet is that you’re doing ok – even if you still want more.
And if not?
That’s ok too.
It’s normal for life to be hard sometimes.
It doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

WHAT WE THINK: I’ve messed up. I don’t deserve to succeed/be happy/enjoy myself.
THE REALITY: Forgiveness will serve you better than guilt. A growth mindset comes from moving from ‘judge and be judged’ to ‘learn and help learn’.
