I feel I am just not good enough.

It’s a thought that’s been haunting me lately. Constantly.

Ask why.

I realized there is just one reason: a sea of advice.

Social media bombards me with how I should live my life. LinkedIn posts. TikTok videos. Long-form articles.

Everyone seems to have an opinion on how I should:

💼 Build my company
📅 Structure my day in the most efficient way
🏋️ Work out
🥗 Eat
👨‍👧 Parent
☑️ Vote
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Build relationships
etc.

There is more advice if you need it. On Youtube. In books. And at home, my wife is often telling me what I should be doing.

And since my son is now a teenager, he also has strong opinions and suggestions. 😂

The only possible outcome: frustration. Disappointment. A disturbing sense of inadequacy. Of not being capable of keeping up.

But I’ve had an epiphany.

All this advice? Just that. Advice.

Someone else’s opinion.

It’s impossible to implement it all. And that’s okay.

Everyone has their own path.

I want to live life on my terms. Build (or fail at building) my company my way. Parent how I see fit.

My life. My mistakes.
