Do You Ever Feel Like A Fish Out Of Water? STOP NOW!!!!!
by Gwen from RAG Social
Do you have times, when working online, in the world of social media or whatever that sometimes, just sometimes, you feel like a fish out of water?
Times when you think to yourself:-
Why am I not like them?
I don’t do that?
That does not happen to me?
How can ‘they’ get all that success and not me?
Or perhaps it is just a general feeling of overwhelm! You get lost and sucked in to all the noise!
What you need to remember, the majority of people that you meet online are not your real friends!……. Too harsh??? Nope!
You meet some amazing people that light you up and get your full attention. You thrive on what they have to say and offer you.
Still…. it is business!
However, it is not always a given that you have to stick with that ONE great person that you find. Over time you may outgrow what they are offering or you might find yourself moving in other directions. That is okay…..
Worse still, they might not be all that they say they are! That is a tough one to work with!
You need to stay focused and put yourself first with your onward journey.
You find your own way and stick to the values that resonate with you and your core beliefs.
Sometimes you find ‘that’ person who you think is right for your tribe! Then, after you really get to know them, you find that prehaps, they are not for you!
That is okay too…… it’s not a personal thing it is just human nature.
When walking your own journey to success it is really important that you find the right fit for you. Never compromise your core values just to be seen with that big name. Really….. just don’t do it! You will come off worst.
Be true to yourself and grow your own way. You will get a much better online reputation. Trust me, there is nothing worse than watching somebody make a fool of themselves.
Never ever feel that you are not good enough! It is easy to read the ‘in things’ and suddenly you feel ‘oh oh’ I don’t have a story to tell…. well let me tell you……YOU HAVE!
Your uniqueness is what makes you grow.
You will find words being branded about that appear trendy and you might get caught up in it all.
However, if you stick to being YOU and doing your thing, the right way, you will soon stand out and shine in your field.
By being different you will stand out right away. Don’t be affraid to show the true you! Yes, you will lose some connections along the way, but do you know what — those people are obviously not your ideal fit in any case.
The ones that stick around when they see the true you, warts and all, (within reason ;)) are the ones worth holding onto and creating those strong bonds with.
Sometimes in life you just need to man up and stand up for what you believe in.
There is no such thing as a mistake, only a learning curve!
The more mistakes you make the further you take your journey!
Keep enjoying what you do.
Chat soon folks.
Keep safe.
