Matthew Hussey argues you're not behind in life because you're exactly where you need to be right now. Life is unpredictable, relationships change, unexpected things happen. The only certainty is this moment, so focus on the opportunities in front of you instead of measuring yourself against imagined timelines.
You're not behind. I don't believe in behind. You're where you're meant to be. This is your life. You can't do it wrong. It's your life. It's no one else's. You're where you're meant to be right now. And what is ahead anyway? Look, there are people right now, people you know, who think they're in a great relationship and won't be in that relationship next year. Or they'll meet the love of their life tomorrow and think, I did it, and then that person will get sick and they'll lose them. We have no idea what is going to happen in life. But what I know to be true is that you are alive now. And there is so much more available to you than you may be experiencing right now. Honoring the fact that you're alive means embracing the opportunities and making the most of it instead of looking at some story of where I was supposed to be by now or what was supposed to happen or who I was supposed to be with or any of that nonsense. I get it. You've taken knocks. Who hasn't? It may be hard to believe that better is out there based on what you've had so far. But we are terrible predictors of what is possible for us because we have an extremely limited vantage point from where we're standing today.
