Always these expectations!
19 years old: successful high school graduation
25 years: education completed, job found
30 years: Full time at work, twice a year on holiday
35 years old: Mother, married and part-time
55 years: > Children from the house, camping with dad, looking forward to retirement
70 years: Finally pension, but because of hip problems no golden, also constipation... and after that it was about that.
Ever wondered, WHY you do the things you do? As a comfortable person, I like to be driven and guided. That was already the case in school. The years passed me by and I slipped from school into an education that seemed safe and conservative to me. Then it went on somehow with a job, everyday life and routine. What a young, modern woman is expecting.
Dressing up nicely, but not too loud to please, but not too noticeable.
I make up to look prettier but not too strong not to scare people.
I want to please and that's just human.
Let's just think back to primitive man in caves and back Packing was alive. Of course, he wanted to please the pack to stay with it and not be eaten by the saber tooth tiger!
No one likes to be rejected or criticized. Some have a high tolerance for it and leave it Criticism goes away loosely, but basically we want harmony, routine, and safety.
Harmony, routine, and safety could be my second, third, and fourth names. I am a little pig who likes to be led. Maybe that's why my circle of friends consists of so many great, confident and energetic women.
This feel-good routine bubble has suddenly burst.
It seems to me I woke up from a long sleep and became the first Let's take a look at myself. What do I want in life? What's important to me?
... but not: what do others expect from me?
Have you ever noticed how we are influenced by the opinions of our fellow human beings? Everywhere pressure is made. The bar for young women, we put each other higher, until none of us can jump over it. We all think that we are not as smart, successful, confident, beautiful and happy, as our fellow men .
Fact is: we all think so and pretend to each other.
If you are aware of it, it is much more relaxed. I have been able to meet many very successful people in recent months.I want to go my own way and explore my limits. I keep reminding myself that in uncomfortable situations I suddenly have much more in it than I would have expected.
In this sense:
Trust yourself! Go your way! Beware what others expect of you!
At the end of the day, only we have to live alone with our decisions.
