In a society where we constantly compare ourselves to people on social media and real life, it's easy to feel bombarded by expectations of others to do more and be more to be successful, popular, or well-liked.
Numerous times in the past, I remember finding myself in "What career/ major/ degree I need to achieve" to be successful in my eyes and in others. And I'll just be honest and say that none of that really matters without knowing God's purpose for your life. Because you can be rich, successful, famous, and have everything you could imagine wanting and achieving in life, but if you don't know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him, you won't be living fully and freely.
Whether it's homemaking, DIY projects, hobbies, sports, writing, blogging, etc. Ask yourself this question, "Who am I doing this for?" Because it's easy to get lost in the pressure of doing to impress people and be wrapped up in trying to define ourselves by what we do or think we should be doing, rather than aiming to please and serve God with our time, gifts, talents, passions, interests, resources, and ambition.
When we aim to please the Lord by serving people around us and serving Him, we find more joy, peace, and fulfillment in our lives and it's more evident in our attitudes and how we treat people. All of that stemming from knowing who God is and who we are in Him who gives us our identity. And when we are confident and assured of our proper identity, opinions from people and ourselves won't really matter in the end. Watch this video below to understand more about not letting what we do define us.
