40 years from now, what kind of life will you live?

2/26 Edited to

... Read moreการตั้งคำถามกับสิ่งที่สังคมกำหนดให้เป็น 'มาตรฐาน' ของชีวิตเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญมาก เพราะหลายครั้งเราอาจถูกบังคับหรือถูกชักจูงให้เลือกเส้นทางที่ไม่ได้ทำให้เรามีความสุขจริงๆ ส่วนตัวผมเคยลองทบทวนดูว่าแท้จริงแล้วผมอยากมีชีวิตอย่างไรในอีก 40 ปีข้างหน้า ผมพบว่าการเลือกทางเดินที่จะทำให้มีความสุขอย่างแท้จริงสำคัญกว่าการทำตามกฎเกณฑ์ที่คนรอบข้างคาดหวัง “Chapter ถัดไปของชีวิต” ไม่จำเป็นต้องเป็นความสำเร็จทางอาชีพหรือการเงินเสมอไป แต่คือการได้ใช้ชีวิตอย่างที่เราเป็น ได้ทำในสิ่งที่รักและมีความหมายกับเราอย่างแท้จริง ตามคำพูดที่ว่า "Just do it." คือการลงมือทำในสิ่งที่เราฝันและเชื่อมั่น ว่าจะทำให้ชีวิตเราเต็มไปด้วยความสุข ผมจึงอยากชวนให้ทุกคนลองหยุดคิดถึง "กฎเกณฑ์ของสังคม" และลองถามตัวเองว่า "คุณอยากเป็นใครและอยากใช้ชีวิตแบบไหนในอีก 40 ปีข้างหน้า" การมี Growth Mindset หรือมุมมองที่เปิดกว้างต่อการพัฒนาและเปลี่ยนแปลง จะช่วยให้เราพบเส้นทางที่เหมาะสมกับตัวเองมากขึ้น ไม่ว่าคุณจะเลือกเส้นทางแบบไหน เป็นเรื่องดีหากเลือกที่จะใช้ชีวิตอย่างมีสติ และสร้างความสุขในแบบของตัวเองเสมอ ชีวิตไม่จำเป็นต้องสมบูรณ์แบบเพียงแค่เรามีความสุขในทุกวันและกล้าเริ่มต้นบทใหม่ "My Turn" คือช่วงเวลาของคุณที่จะเลือกและทำในสิ่งที่ต้องการอย่างเต็มที่ ท้ายที่สุดก็อยากให้ทุกคนจำไว้ว่า การทำตามหัวใจและออกจากกรอบที่สังคมตั้งไว้ไม่ได้แปลว่าเราผิด แต่เป็นการให้โอกาสตัวเองได้ใช้ชีวิตอย่างเต็มที่และมีความสุขในแบบที่เราต้องการจริงๆ

Stop telling these 23-year-olds to just enjoy life‼️ Enjoy WHAT exactly? Rent high. Groceries high. Interest rates high. Jobs unstable. This is not the same world we came up in. At 23, you don’t have the luxury of drifting anymore. You need direction. I’m not saying don’t laugh.
