영혼은 생각의 색대로 물들게 된다

 

I’ve graduated but I worry that only being average will blight my future | Ask Philippa

 

 

• Don’t be in a hurry to tick off all the usual milestones that supposedly make for a successful life.
• Don’t be tempted to measure success just in grades and job titles.
• Instead, accept where you are, explore what interests you and take away the pressure that comes from comparing yourself to others.
• Watch how you are talking to yourself and congratulate yourself when you spot an unhelpful thought pattern you need to change.
• Change will take practice. Be patient. Be curious about yourself.
• Think about ways to be creative, ways to be kind, ways to get involved and belong.
• We all have our own unique journey through life. Comparing your journey to others’ can lead to dissatisfaction and overlooking the unique contributions you do have to make.
• Record your progress in a journal. The Daily Stoic Journal, 366 Days of Writing and Reflection on the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday has helpful quotes and asks questions that will help you identify your ways of thinking that might not be working for you.
• Marcus Aurelius also said: “The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.” I think he knew what he was talking about.
