Would you still make the same choices?
Dear Authentic Introvert,
What makes you think you’ve achieved something worthwhile?
People think you are a big shot.
Your business is growing year after year.
You’ve won some awards.
You have a big house and an expensive car – exactly what most people dream of.
You are getting closer to living like somebody you look up to.
You think you can buy anything you want.
You’re earning more than your peers.
Or is it:
You have no regrets from the past.
You have built a happy and lovely family.
You are living where you always wanted.
You love what you do.
You own your time.
You can say “NO” to things you don’t like doing without giving explanations.
You can still catch up with old friends and take your spouse/love interest on a date even on weekdays.
Getting clear on what you really care about and making it a priority decides how fulfilled your life will be.
This outward validation may boost your dopamine today but in the long run, it’s like chasing fool’s gold.
Because people’s likes and dislikes shift with time.
They don’t cheer for the same magic trick forever.
They’ll eventually stop cheering for you as well.
If you’re living a life people like, your future is doomed.
Don’t copy anyone.
Curate your life exactly how you want.
Live more intentionally.
Key Takeaway:
Set your priorities right from the start so you don’t climb a mountain only to find out it’s the wrong one.
Hoping you climb the right one,
Sachin Sharma
