Client Services Manager

Right now, most of my friends from college are doing amazing things. It's making me feel like, "oh my god, I'm not doing the same things as them, they're basically living their dreams right now.” For example, I'm not moving to Europe to go on tour with a major recording artist, and I'm not moving to Paris to represent and lead a team for my company. While I'm not doing as amazing things that are putting my name out there, I'm doing really well with my own goals.
You can't really compare yourself to others, you have to celebrate your own goals. I think for me, when I was younger I always thought that I had to be as good as my friends and my siblings, but really, you should just compete with yourself. That's the only thing that's going to get your far, and you can't compete with everyone else.
Working here offers so many opportunities, and I have to put things in perspective--I have to remember that I have things that people would die to have too.
