It’s a familiar script: childhood dreams of becoming a doctor or an engineer, followed by the relentless pursuit of a stable job and a perfect family life. But is that the only measure of success?
I’ve often found myself in the crosshairs of well-meaning advice, questioning my career trajectory and life choices. The unspoken pressure to fit into a pre-defined mold can be overwhelming.
Truth is, I’ve chosen a different path. A path less traveled, perhaps, but one that ignites my passion and fuels my growth. My journey might not follow a linear flowchart, but it’s filled with branches, twists, and turns that make it uniquely mine.
I believe success is subjective. It’s about setting your own goals, finding your own rhythm, and constantly striving to be better than yesterday. It’s about embracing challenges, learning from failures, and celebrating small victories.
So, to all those who measure success by external standards, I say: let’s redefine it. Let’s create our own narratives, write our own stories, and live life on our own terms.
