Life Moves Fast: Learning to Slow Down and Redefine Success

Life comes at you fast—sometimes too fast. One minute you’re learning how to ride a bike, and the next you’re building a career. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t enjoying life the way I should. Instead, I felt the constant pressure to perform, perform, perform. And the hardest part? Despite all my hard work, I often find myself in the same position as people who didn’t put in half the effort.

It’s frustrating and disappointing to realize that the message we were taught—“work hard and you’ll get what you want”—doesn’t always line up with reality.

This is the real lesson. Life doesn’t slow down, but I can choose how I show up in it. I can let go of outdated programming, embrace therapy, and trust myself enough to create the future I want.
