Quote Missing a train is only painful if you run...

Missing a train is only painful if you run after it! Imagine yourself sprinting down the platform, desperately trying to catch a train that is already pulling away. The frustration, the disappointment, the feeling of failure - all of these emotions come rushing in as you watch the train disappear into the distance. But what if you simply let it go? What if you accepted that you missed the train and moved on with grace and composure?

Likewise, not matching the idea of success others expect from you is only painful if that’s what you are seeking. Society often imposes its own definition of success on us - a high-paying job, a fancy car, a big house. But what if that's not what truly fulfills you? What if you are chasing after someone else's idea of success, instead of your own? The pain comes not from failing to meet others' expectations, but from failing to meet your own.

It's a reminder to stay true to yourself, to follow your own path, and to define success on your own terms. Don't waste your time and energy trying to live up to someone else's standards. Embrace your uniqueness, your individuality, and let go of the need for external validation.

When you stop chasing after someone else's idea of success, you free yourself from the burden of comparison and competition. You no longer feel the need to measure up to others or prove your worth to anyone else. You can focus on what truly matters to you, what brings you joy and fulfillment.

Remember, success is not a one-size-fits-all concept. What works for one person may not work for another. It's about finding what makes you happy, what aligns with your values and passions, and pursuing that with all your heart.

So, the next time you feel the pressure to conform to society's expectations or meet someone else's idea of success, take a step back and ask yourself: Is this what I truly want? Is this what will bring me happiness and fulfillment? And if the answer is no, then let go of the need to chase after it.

Embrace your own definition of success, even if it means going against the grain or disappointing others. Remember, the only person you need to please is yourself. Stay true to who you are, follow your own path, and find success on your own terms.

Don't let the fear of missing out or falling short hold you back. Trust in yourself, trust in your journey, and trust that you are capable of defining and achieving success in your own unique way.
