There's No Need to Rush

"When are you gonna graduate?"
"When are you gonna work?"
"When are you gonna marry?"
"When are you gonna have children?"

These are simple questions. But often, they bring a lot of anxiety.

Why? Because they trigger us to feel that we don't do enough. They trigger us to feel that we need to rush in doing the things that we have been asked.

"When am I gonna graduate?"
"When am I gonna work?"
"When am I gonna marry?"
"When am I gonna have children?"

Apart from that, they also trigger us to compare ourselves with others.

"Jane had graduated already."
"Zach had started to work already."
"Mary had got married already."
"Felix had a child already."

These questions make us feel pressured & insecure, at least during the time when the question is asked. But for some people, those questions asked can pressure them almost all the time, until they've accomplished what they are expected to do.

We can't blame this natural feeling. We, humans, are more prone to feel insecure than feeling secure, as that will favor us more in survival. But as humans, we need to be smart. We don't necessary need to do what we feel to do.

Just a simple message here. Chill.
Everyone moves according to their own pace. So do you.
So plan things out, execute them in the best way possible, and follow the flow if needed.
And also, don' forget to pray for what you need & what you want.

It's okay to be caring for others, but we don't need to bother too much about what is going on in others' life. Everyone walks at various speed. Focus onto yourself.
Focus onto how can you improve yourself, by taking inspiration & aspiration from the ones ahead of you, and helping those behind & below you.

Because life is a race only with yourself. So, unless there are legitimate needs for you to rush,
there's no need to rush.
