Answer:
stop imagine ..
When your mum told you to study accounting/business/marketing/whatever at college, I’m sure she meant well. When your dad told you to take that entry level position at the local law firm/IT company/engineering contractor, I’m sure he was telling you what he thought you needed to hear.
They wanted you to be happy. They wanted you to be fulfilled. They wanted you to feel significant and valuable. The only problem was that they didn’t know how to give you everything they didn’t have. They gave you the life plan they followed. Sure, it didn’t work out AMAZINGLY well for them, but they’re happy enough. Surely, you just need to follow the same life plan as them and with a bit of luck, you’re going to be confident, strong, happy, fulfilled, and free. Right? Right?
Unfortunately, no. Happiness doesn’t work like that.
Living someone else’s life plan is the fastest and most consistent path to an unfulfilling, unrewarding, and frustrating existence. You only have to open your eyes and walk through the financial districts of any major city and watch the frustrated, robotic ways people struggle through their life or pay attention to the disappointed, sad, and angry guys trying to forget their pain in the bottom of a beer bottle every Friday night to see how well living someone else’s life plan works. I don’t know you and we’ve never spoken but if you’re reading this website, I’m confident that’s not the life you want.
But if seeing the pain and frustration that everyone else is going through isn’t enough to get you off that path and convince you to start walking your own journey, here are 11 reasons why you need to leave your parents life plan behind and start to forge your own destiny.
REASON 1. NO-ONE WILL EVER LOVE, ADMIRE, OR BE INSPIRED BY YOU
If you’re walking the exact same path as 95% of people in your world, how is the partner of your dreams supposed to tell you apart from everyone else? What qualities will they see in you that they don’t see in the person in the cubicle across the hall? What characteristics will they fall for in you that she can’t see in most people drowning out their pain in bars across the city? What traits will they describe to their friends when she talks about this new person they’ve met?
“Yeah, he’s pretty much like every other guy I know. He goes to work, comes home, watches TV, goes out drinking on Friday and Saturday nights and complains about ‘a case of the Mondays’ when he’s hungover on Monday morning. He doesn’t like his life but he gets up every day and does it over and over again.”
Sure, you might be persistent, but is persistence enough to compensate for the lack of excitement, fulfilment, happiness, and freedom? I don’t think so.
If you follow your parent’s life plan, no one will ever love you because there will be nothing to love. No one will ever admire you because there’s nothing admirable about you. No one will ever be inspired by you because there’s nothing inspirational about you. You’re the same average Joe or Jane as the majority of the world’s population and the confident, interesting, in-demand people you want are going to treat you like that.
You will never end up in an exceptional relationship because there will be nothing exceptional about you. You will never end up with the partner of your dreams because you’re not the person of their dreams. Your relationships will be filled with mediocre people who’re confortable wasting the very precious minutes of their short life on this planet doing what other people tell them is right.
Does that sound like the kind of future you want? Is that part of your life vision?
Your parent’s life plan will guarantee that you will never truly be loved because there’s nothing to love about you. If you ever want to be loved, you need to drop it now.
