Striving vs living – finding the balance

It can be sometimes be addictive to keep working on ourselves and strive to be a better version. Never living the life which we currently have as a result.

It is important to be aware of areas where we need work. Where there is room for growth. And we can consistently work on these aspects.

However, we should not forget to live the life we already have, as we strive to be better.

It is a delicate balance.

On the one hand you are fully aware of your challenges and rough edges. On the other, you fully embrace your present self providing yourself validation and compassion.

In present times, its easy to fall into the trap of constant striving. There are many signals from media, society hammered into us on how we are not smart, beautiful or social enough. Many of them are based on completely false narratives, but its a hard task to avoid this constant humdrum.

So remember to live your life completely even as you continue on your growth journey. .
