My Journey to Becoming Who I Want to Be

in Reflections18 days ago

It’s been a long time I felt like I’m living a life that feels like being stuck in a place. So at the moment I was going through a lot of emotions dealing with self-doubts. I went through so much mental struggle thinking that I’m not enough or I cannot do it by myself.

That version of me being confident, purposeful and living a meaningful life was no longer there and this gap was very large and very overwhelming.

But during this moment I felt I learned something powerful. That big gap is where the good happens. We face so many struggles in life which is pointing us towards where or who we are meant. I used to think what this meant about us is just for those that are going to the wrong.

The anxiety, the frustration or the feelings. Like not feeling enough or not being capable of achieving your goal. I thought it was something that... It’s left for only the failures but I didn’t know both the winners and the successful ones.

I caught myself scrolling through social media seeing people living their best life as . I couldn’t imagine myself still being stuck in where I am in life. So this thing hit me so much. But what I learned that being stuck was not the problem. They were just clues. I didn’t know what to do. They were just something telling me that hey you are not where you are supposed to be yet. But you can get there if you work hard.

This realization changed everything in my perception on how I see my life. I started tweaking this gap. Taking the challenge. I asked myself what is that step that I must take that will make me get closer to where. It started at so simple things. I wanted a better life. I wanted to be fit. I wanted to be healthier. I wanted to be committed in something or like learning a skill. I wanted to feel more confident of myself and be social and outgoing. Even my voice shook when I was communicating outside. I wanted something new.

Although at first I thought going for a therapy was the problem. I realized that. This mental struggle didn’t just end there. I needed to do the right thing for it to vanish. And it needed consistent work. Showing up. No matter what you are being. Sometimes I does trip on my own feeling insecure. Getting frustrated. And feeling like I am not making progress. But every time. I put this to touch. I just came back.

It keep revealing what I need to do to make my life better. After so much reflection, I begin to discover things I need to do during this moment that can change the whole narrative. What I’ve learned during this period is that success does not happen overnight or these mental struggles cannot defeat overnight, it requires a lot of process. This is not about perfection but it’s about doing the right thing all the time, showing up.

You don’t need to have everything, if we go figure it out at once, you just need to start from somewhere, obey, embrace this discomfort celebrate the wins and remind yourself that effort is what effort your effort is what the result that you get.

If you’re feeling struck or you just you are just struggling which is achieving something bigger then don’t let anything hold you back you just have to keep showing up pick one time understand this is life everyone goes through tough time both the rich and the poor.

You can have tough conversation with people your loved ones getting out of bed going out to socialize whatever you have to do to clear yourself and to get rid of this mental struggle which you don’t to be around you for so long, so tat it will not hinder your success.

This is my own therapy or my suggestion and it might work for you, or it might not work but just apply. If it does work for you keep going and get closer to where you want to be in life there is no time so act now.
