Why it's okay to not have it all figured out

Everyone has that one friend who seems to have it all figured out. They are the ones with the perfect job, busy social schedule, and active lifestyle. You know…the person you're always envious of because they appear to be so well-rounded and put together.

It's easy to feel like you're the only person in the world who just isn't getting it all together. But don't worry, because you're not! The truth is, no one has it all figured out! We all have our struggles and challenges in life that we deal with from time to time.

When you're young, it's easy to think that life will play out in a certain way: You'll graduate high school, go to college, get married, start a family and work in your dream job.

But life doesn't always turn out like that. Sometimes the path we expect to walk isn't the path we end up traveling. We have to understand that this is normal and that everyone's life does not always work out the same.

When everything did not go according to plan, we thought that for some reason we "failed", but only later we realized that not understanding life is normal. And that's okay! In fact, it's better than okay. It's good for us and our development as individuals.

Tell yourself from time to time that you need to let go of the idea of ​​what life should be in your head and accept it as it is and where you are now. If it takes five or twenty years to make your dream come true, or even just to find it out, that's okay. It's okay not to know what you want to do, or to have a career plan that will last a lifetime.

You don't have to have the perfect job or the perfect relationship. You don't have to be the best friend. You never will be, and it doesn't mean you're failing at life. It means you're human, and that's okay.

Life is meant to be lived, not planned out!

It's never too late to change your course based on what life has imposed on you. All you can do is do it step by step; all you can do is keep moving in the direction that seems right to you. You may not think that things are going according to plan right now, but even if it’s difficult, use this as an opportunity to put things in perspective and get to know yourself even better.

Don't compare yourself to everyone else and only worry about your life. You need to experience what life is, from feeling happy because you did something useful, to sad because you failed despite trying your best. It's tiring when you are constantly trying to figure out what will happen in the next moment, and life really asks you to relax a little and trust more.

No matter how worried you are and how much you think too much about not knowing what to do with your life, be it career, family or personal life, take a deep breath and open up to the idea that you can never predict where you are.

In the end, it's important to remember that we're all on a journey and that journey is different for everyone. It's okay to not have it all figured out and to be working towards your goals every day.

The important thing is to enjoy your life, focus on what's going right in your life and share those moments with the people you love. Be sure to share this post with your friends and loved ones so they can see that there is no need for perfection in life.

'till next time
