As humans, we often thing that everyone else has it together and we're the outlier. That everyone has financial success, career success, and is living a happy life. We focus on our differences from other people and because of this we feel as if we are behind in life; however, we all have a lot more in common than we are different. In this video, I share what we as humans have in common because when you understand what we all have in common, you understand that nobody is behind in life.
“4 Human Commonalities For Anyone Feeling Behind In Life.”
1. Everyone Has “The Story”
What I have learned after meeting so many different types of people in life is that everyone has this traumatic life event that happens between ages 15-27 that they often use to hold themselves back. We all have a moment in life where we stopped being this innocent child and started to understand that life is tough; however, we often feel alone as if everyone else has gone through life without any traumas or hardships. Everyone in life has a story and we need to embrace our stories because they don't make you behind in life, but they make you a part of life. You are who you are because of your story and when you start talking about your story we see that you are not alone.
2. Everyone Measures Themselves To This One Size Fits All Scale
Society gives us this set of unwritten expectations that we should reach certain milestones at certain ages of our lives. And no matter who you are or what your goals are, I believe that we all measure ourselves up to this scale in a way and feel behind in life when we don't reach certain milestones. However, we all have different goals and circumstances in life, so it is impossible to have one single scale that everyone measures their success off of. If you are constantly measuring yourself on this scale it doesn't mean that you are behind in life, but it just means that you are following a system that isn't for you. It is important to know that we are all going through life differently and it is okay if you do not meet certain milestones at certain ages.
3. Everyone Is Their Own Worst Critic
I believe that the most dangerous place in the world is your own mind. That you are your own biggest critic. When you are constantly in your mind, it can take you to dark places and make you feel bad about yourself as if you are not enough. And oftentimes when we go to these dark places, we feel behind in life because we are constantly in this mode of comparison. These thoughts, however, are natural and no one is immune to having dark thoughts. At the end of the day, everyone is fighting their own battle and going through their own things. It is important to not think that you are the only one with these negative thoughts because nobody is immune to the dark places the mind takes you.
4. Everyone Is A Masterpiece In The Making
I heard a quote the other day by Archbishop Desmond Tutu where he said, "You are made for perfection, but you are not yet perfect. You are a masterpiece in the making." As humans, we are more similar than we are different. We all have a story, we all face the pressures of society, and we all are hard on ourselves. When you focus on our commonalities we have as humans, you understand that nobody in this world is behind in life, but we are all just figuring out life one day at a time.
