Hi Gabrielle, Thanks for sharing, I completely relate with your thoughts. Last year, I started grad school and in the process of starting this big thing I had to delete a LOT of distractions in my life including social medias. I just deleted facebook, and instagram off my phone simply because I didn't have the time to entertain anything. Since deleting those platforms in summer 2024, my world and orbit has gotten SO small- and I feel less of the pull to share my whole life with everyone in the world. lol! I had no idea how caught up I was in the premature gratification of sharing. A conclusion I've had this last quarter (since becoming better at grad school and managing assignments, time, and personal life), is that a LOT of life is about the grind and discipline. What makes us who we are is what we do 90% of the time, not what we say or who we say we are. Anyways, I digress, thanks again for a piece of your mind!
congrats on embarking on your grad school journey! i hope your studies are going well 🫶🏽 i love what you said: that what makes us who we are is what we do 90% of the time - i need to read that every single morning lol. i myself get caught up on everything i want to be/do that i neglect the act of actually doing something to get closer to that goal/that higher version of myself. i appreciate your perspective and im glad someone could relate to what i was feeling! good luck with grad school and thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter 🫂
Now I wish I had read this earlier before announcing something that I had just started working on. Now I feel stuck and I know that those that care will be expecting a result soon.
I was just saying to myself that I have to stop announcing what I’m going to do this summer to people or my career. I didn’t have the full words as to why, but not I kinda do.
I am the type of person to share her goal before i even start it, even thougj i dont tell people i say it in my mind and i love the feeling of the dopamine rush but when i comes to start it or finish it i dont want to at all. So reading this has definitely opened my eyes.
i absolutely love this! i recently shared a big goal with some people and ever since then i wish i could take it back because i feel it’s not working out, but from that i learned to just keep things to myself because you never know who’s plotting against you!
They cannot destroy the things they don't know about 👀
THIS
