Nataliey Bitature argues that perfection doesn't exist and everyone faces problems, no matter how polished their public image. The key is choosing which struggles you take on. Climbing a ladder that conflicts with your values leaves you stuck with problems you never wanted.
You get to make these choices and decisions that are taking you to where you want to be. Because as bad as giving up is, there's also reaching somewhere you did not want to reach, and now those problems are your problems. Because no matter where you go, there is no patch of grass in life where there is no problems. That one I can say confidently. There is no one who has a perfect life or who has perfect balance or a perfect job or a perfect marriage or a perfect relationship with everyone in their life. It doesn't exist. It might look like that on social media, or if you see them on TV when they brag to you in the bar. No one's life is perfect. So make sure where you're you're ready for those struggles, and those are the struggles you choose. Because there will be struggles. You don't want to work your way up a corporate ladder, you get this job, and you're like, what am I doing here? These problems I don't want. This job is not in alignment with my values, it's not making me happy, and now I'm stuck with the problems on top of it. So make sure you're struggling in the right direction, because everyone is struggling, everyone is striving, everyone is fighting for what they are trying to achieve in their life. So be conscious about it, know where you're trying to take yourself.
