Chances are almost everyone you meet in life will not be a Stanford MBA grad, YC founder or a 30 under 30.
If you’re surrounded by pressure to achieve more than 99.9999% of people will achieve, try to find a different tribe. If you are pressuring yourself, then ask the simple question: “How does this serve me?”. If you don’t like the pressure and it’s making your life worse, then try something different.
Maybe start with some realistic goals that most people can relate to:
* run a 3k/5k/10k, etc.
* finish reading a famous novel
* travel to a new state or country
* learn to cook a new meal
Achieving simple goals might not make you rich or famous, but it will make you more relatable, which builds connection. Stronger connections means stronger support during tough times.
Thanks for reaching out for support. It sounds like you have the financial means to work with a therapist / life coach / spiritual teacher, etc. We get 1 life, so why not give it a try?
