Are you a millennial who feels like you are falling behind in life? Do you compare yourself to others? Do you struggle to find your purpose and direction in this fast-paced world?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. 

Many millennials feel the same way. Even when things appear as though they are going well, we feel stuck, frustrated, and sometimes downright hopeless. 

Often, we feel like we have missed out on opportunities, and wasted our time on the wrong things and people (yes, I’m talking about that ex who you wasted an entire year trying to get to know, only to discover he is a well-dressed maniac.

Or when we look around at our peers doing their thing, killing it in their careers, glow-up with smoothies, spa days and the gym not to mention those exotic trips and the ways they’re raising kids. We are happy for them, but sometimes it feels like we have failed to achieve our dreams.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can still catch up with your life goals and create a fulfilling and fascinating life for ourself. 

I believe in the power of words so I’ve put together 3 quotes that can help us let go of the past, focus on the present and plan for the future.

Here are some powerful quotes that can inspire you to do just that:

• “The most important cage you can free yourself from is the one in which you care what others think of you.”¹ This quote reminds you that you don’t need to compare yourself to others or seek their approval. You are unique and valuable, and you have your own path to follow. Don’t let others’ opinions or expectations hold you back or make you feel inferior.

• 
• “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”²   I love that this quote reminds you that the past is gone, and you can’t change it. 
• 
• What matters is what you do now and what you aim for in the future. 
• Don’t dwell on your mistakes, regrets, or failures. Learn from them and move on. The future is full of possibilities and opportunities, and you can make the most of them if you are optimistic and proactive.

• “Life has a way of going in circles. Ideally, it would be a straight path forward––we’d always know where we were going, we’d always be able to move on and leave everything else behind. There would be nothing but the present and the future. Instead, we always find ourselves where we started.”³ 
• This quote reminds you that life is not linear or predictable. It is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, challenges and surprises. 
• 
• Sometimes, we may feel like we are going nowhere or repeating the same patterns. But that’s okay. That’s how we grow, learn, and discover new things. 
• Don’t be afraid of change or uncertainty. Embrace them and see where they lead you.

These quotes are just some of the many ways to motivate yourself to catch up with your life goals. But they are not enough by themselves. You also need to take action and make a plan.

That’s why I want to invite you to listen to the 5 Years to 40 Podcast, where I share with you my journey of transforming my life from chaos to clarity and a mess to success in just five years before I turn 40.
