Why You Must Stay In Your Lane

Are you in your lane? If you are not, it is never too late to start again.

What does it mean to stay in your own lane?

When you are in your own lane, you accept who you are. When you are in your own lane, you are you. You follow your heart. You don’t compare yourself to anyone. You don’t care about what other people are doing. The only thing that matters to you is your growth.

‘When you are in your lane, there is no traffic.’- Ava DuVernay

When you are in your own lane, you are not scared to do what you most need to do. When you are in your own lane, you are not scared of mistakes, of failures. You are comfortable with whatever you get. You are comfortable with yourself.

When you are in your own lane, you are being true to yourself. You don’t lie to yourself. And when you are in your own lane, you don’t settle for less. You know what you can do. You know what you cannot do. Above all, when you are in your lane, when you are doing your own thing, when you are living your life, ‘there is no traffic.’

‘When you are in your lane, you are in charge of your life.’

So if you want to be successful in your life, do not be scared to follow your path. Do not be scared to start something, to be the first to do something. And do not be scared to represent yourself. Because if you don’t, other people will represent you. When they do, they are in charge of your life, not you. Do you want that to happen to you?

Upset Yourself

To get better at what you do, you must upset yourself. Do not settle for less. Because you are more than less. You are greater than what you are giving yourself. You know more than you are doing. You have more than you are giving.

Look, life does not cheat. If you want to be successful, if you want to live a meaningful life, do not cheat yourself.

You must upset yourself. Do not be a follower, take the lead. And do not be afraid to try something new. Do not be afraid to challenge yourself. Take risks. Take risks and do something completely different from what you have been doing. Take a new path. Do not follow the beaten path.

Upset yourself. Why is that? Because it is more important to grow than to be comfortable. It is more important to choose you than to choose others. It is more important to follow your own path than to follow the crowd. And it is more important to master yourself than to master others.

So why not upset yourself? Why not make yourself uncomfortable?
