Day 8

No one is as interested in what you are doing next as you are.

It’s taken a long time for me to fully understand it, but I do now, and it’s incredibly powerful.

On the surface, it’s about not comparing yourself to others and not letting the people around you dictate how you live. There is so much around us that could influence our next steps… And once we follow the path others suggest, we often find ourselves being measured against those exact societal expectations that pushed us there in the first place.

So, on a deeper level, this quote tells me to get excited for me. Only me. No one knows I’m excited and where the excitement comes from. No one can influence where the excitement goes or judge how successful it is.

It’s this secret that I have with myself. My intense interest in my next steps, this deep investment in my future – it’s all the motivation I need to move forward.
