Sometimes I catch myself comparing my progress to everyone else's in here (social media updates/reals) and it spikes my anxiety all over again feeding that cycle I know too well from past years. But reminding myself this is my path only has helped me share more openly lately. What about you, does comparison ever creep into your burnout recovery and how do you shake it off?

I definitely feel this, working in retail. A lot of people tend to look down on retail workers and think we just aren't motivated. I'm still in school and so I'm just trying to make peace with where I'm at in life, but it can be hard sometimes. Especially when I'm comparing myself to my more "successful" peers.

And again, it's no crime to always compare yourself with others! Just know when to never let it drag you to lose focus on your future

I struggle with this, I can feel myself getting panicky just reading it. I also remind myself that everything looks better on social media

Therefore, it calls for one to know when to filter what their minds consumes (exposed to!)

Also use it as ammonation to be better instead of letting it turn into jealousy.

I positively take everything as a stepping stone to my growth

I used to think like that but then realized what’s the rat race for anyways. Now, I have a certain household number I’m trying to achieve to maintain the lifestyle I want.

All the best with what you're trying to achieve....

I'm not "successful" compared to quite a few of my friends, but I am the happiest person I know. I love my life, and I know very few people who could say the same about theirs. It is hard to look at them and feel envy just because they have a bigger bank account, when they have so little else.

What makes you a happy person in comparison to your friends?

In this regard, no. I don't compare myself to others. They're are some many differences that such a comparison isn't possible.

Just made a career pivot and accepted a job with Progressive in sales. I’ve heard more good things than bad about the company.

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?

Yoe : 4 years

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

Anyone at the Charlotte airport aa lounge right now?

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
