The expectations set for most of us surrounding work and life were unrealistic at best. That’s only compounded by the constant barrage of online influencers and motivational speakers flooding TikTok, YT, IG, etc.

There could be a realignment as our generations and the next realize what we were sold doesn’t match what is, if we’re willing to give up on all being rich and famous.

That doesn’t mean that reality has to be less satisfying than the dream. Lots of successful people are unhappy and unsatisfied. Contentment can only come from within.
