The biggest mistake is to waste your life becoming the person you never wanted to be.

The biggest mistake is to waste your life becoming the person you never wanted to be.

We look at other people's achievements, relationships, lifestyles and imperceptibly begin to measure our worth by them. It seems to us that someone has already found the right path, so we just need to retrace his steps, be more disciplined, more successful, more confident. And then the end of feeling that we are living right.

But you don't know at what price another person got his life, what he lost along the way and whether he is really happy. You see the result, but you don't know if the price you had to pay for it is right for you.

Someone else's way can inspire you, but it can't answer the question of what exactly you want.

Maybe you don't want a life that others admire. Maybe you need one where you don't have to constantly betray yourself for the approval of others. So don't just ask, “How can I achieve the same? " Ask yourself: "Do I really want this? ".

Other people's stories can point you in a direction, but you have to choose the path yourself. And one day you may find that true happiness began not when you achieved others, but when you stopped running in the wrong direction.
