The Right Way To Look at The World

I've been watching the first season of The White Lotus and for those unfamiliar with the show, it follows a few rich families as they spend their time at a resort in Hawaii. Each family is massively flawed though one particularly caught my attention due to their conversations. The mother is a CEO of a multinational cooperation, the father is unknown but makes less than her, son is addicted to pornography and screens, and daughter is a drug addict with insane jealousy issues. They all have different ideas of what is right and voice them often.

A life of mediocrity

I fear most, a life of mediocrity. Every decision I make leads back to this question: "Where am I leading my life to if I do this". Which often results in long, drawn out thinking that usually come down to last second decisions any way. 

Since I can remember I've thought this way. I never wanted to be like anyone I knew, everyone had flaws and didn't seem truly happy with their existence. I want to overcome every obstacle in my way and achieve what most can't. I've always felt like that is destined for me. That being said, it creates lots of anxiety when making decisions since every little detail has a mountain of pressure resting on it.

What I think I want:

- A good paying job

- An attractive wife/girlfriend

- A big social circle

- Meaningful relationships

- A meaningful career

- Sobriety from drugs and porn


I asked ChatGPT for advice. This is it's response, I kind of like it: 

Balancing ambition with self-compassion could help reduce the anxiety you experience in decision-making. It's important to remember that life is fluid, and no single decision determines the entirety of your journey.

Progress comes from the collective impact of small, intentional actions rather than any single monumental choice. This mindset shift can help reduce the pressure on each decision while still guiding you toward the life you envision.
