Is my boyfriend the one? Is this job right for me? Did I
order the right thing on the menu? Should
I have gone to that other party?
If questions like these run through your mind on the ‘reg, I
have one thing to say to you:
Quit that quarter-life kvetching, woman!
Rather than obsessing over whether or not your current life
circumstances are 100% “right”, why not redirect your focus to doing the absolute
best that you can with the life situations that are right in
front of you.
At work, bring your total attention to completing each and
every assignment with excellence. On
dates, be open to enjoying time spent with another human being, rather than freaking out over whether or not he or she fulfills your perfect man (or woman)
checklist. When stuck in traffic, take
the opportunity to breathe deeply, call a friend, or listen to some great music
or an inspirational podcast.
I deeply believe that our ideal lives are not a set of
"perfect" circumstances we will someday “achieve” and ride off into blissfully
happy sunsets. I think it’s more like an attitude we can
choose to adopt no matter what life throws our way.
I’ve had mediocre dates turn into amazing friends. Lack of plans turn into awesome adventures. Not making the cut end up being an amazing
stroke of luck.
It is all in your attitude Babycakes!
What do you think about this subject? Do you fall prey to quarter life-kvetching
and feel pressured to have it all figured out yesterday? Would love to hear about it in the comments
below!
Lmao, great pic! yea this is def an awesome topic that should be discussed more (idk, myb as a segment in a podcast :P) but one aspect that can't be ignored is the pressures from society and the outside world. I also would have to answer honestly that I don't feel the part of the victim but def acknowledge that there are goals that I'd like to achieve, and the 'quarter life-kvetching' kinda puts in perspective how far along I am in achieving said goals.. and it turn, allows me to evaluate my progress and kinda map out what I want to do, as well as what I need to do, to ensure that I accomplish them.
