To be a big fish in a small pond, or a small fish in a big pond?

[@aisyahsls]

I don't know if I'm happy with my current situation or not, so what I do is learn and explore new things while getting to know myself better. But sometimes, I still get distracted by other people's achievements at my age. Is there anyone else who feels the same way as I do?

[@evangelinedesign]

We’re proud of you for learning and exploring :) I definitely feel the same! What helps is to lean into the curiosity and work on what excites me. Something that helps me gain perspective is the number of years so many successful people dedicate to their craft to make the impact they have today. I’m guessing their secret is that they are truly passionate about their craft or problem space, so keep leaning into what you’re curious about and what excites you :)

Me too.....but when i do what i have to do, i no longer thinking bout em

[@thetinywisdom]

I feel you. You can try to compare yourself with your past self. That would give you a sense of growth and achievement. Learning and exploring new things would definitely bring you somewhere! Rooting for you!

Damn, the algorithm know my confussion and offer this video out of nowhere, and im grateful this video finds me, im currently a small fish in a big pond but im not well informed in the process of jumping from small pond to the big pond, it cost me my mental and physical health because it was so fast and so sudden. my friend can adapt with that because he has a great fish around him, but its different with me because im on the other side of the pond and my location have hidden mud and leftover from other fish drama and problem. trying as best as i could to finish or at least reduce the collateral damage and then leave, trying to learn new things and find a new pond. Keep up the good work!

[@thetinywisdom]

That must be tough… I hope you can find a way to find the pond that you’ll enjoy my friend. I wish you all the best. Thank you for watching the video!

Love the insight and agree with most of it! However sadly, some people don't get to pick their pond. Not everyone can pinpoint their place to swim solely by their own preference. In most cases, there are many variables and also circumstances come to the picture to be considered apart from the pursuit of happiness. In fact, the ability to choose itself is already a luxury. Not everybody could afford it. I hope there will be more opportunity for people to grow and to be happy in their own way.

[@thetinywisdom]

Totally agree, you had to be at a certain point in life to even have options to choose. Thank you for sharing your POV.

[@internetguy1778]

Can't agree more. Personally, life to me has beeny a constant battle between feeling grateful for yourself in what you've achieved and been through while also understanding that the more we know, the more we actually dont know, and wanting to know more. Thankfully, we all have come to the realization that what matters in life was never materialistic things like our job, education, and salary among others. What truly matters is the realization of our inner needs, that is a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and of course happiness. One thing I want to point out is that happiness is not to be chased; happiness is not a goal. Happiness will come to you as time goes by. Our duty as humans is continually maximizing our life. At least that's the little understanding I have. Let's continue being human.

Love it, happiness starts within ourselves. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙌

I've been big fish in small pond, Now I'm become TINY fish in LARGE pond. Yes, not small fish, not big pond. I only give so small impact, but this mean I've opportunity to grow bigger and beyond my expectation. Wish me luck!

[@evangelinedesign]

[@thetinywisdom]

All the best!!

“what counts is your feeling. If being in the pond gives you a sense of purpose.” Last week I resigned without a job lined up while I’m still on a visa overseas and this hits really hard ❤ “We’re not bound to a single place. Moving to a new place doesn’t mean you have to upgrade.” This means so much, your content keeps me centered and inspired. ❤

you're the GOAT

[@thetinywisdom]

Thank you, Evangeline! I hope everything goes well over there. I wish you all the best ❤️

[@dapuuuq3144]

your video shows up in the perfect time. knowing that my pond isn't comfortable for me to stay led me to resigning and gave myself time to learn, as a small fish again.

[@thetinywisdom]

I hope you can find the pond that makes you happy!

[@yusuframadhan6259]

To be honest, when talk about this comparison, it reminds me with my current situation rn, I choose to be a big fish in a small pound, at least I have an Authority more with the idea i would come up with, and the feeling to be recognize about a good things we do is something I need it the most, and seeing the company growth with our idea is the happiest I can get. Eventually, I agree with you about there is no point of comparing, choose the warmest and make you happy. Thank you so much man much appreciated

[@thetinywisdom]

Thank you for sharing! Glad that we can both agree that it's about where we are gonna be the happiest. Appreciate you too brother.

My manager said that life is always struggling, I know what he mean that we should struggle and keep progressing on life, but I makes me questioning about life. Is life is never mean to be enjoyable?

[@thetinywisdom]

In my experience, I have to learn about the struggle first before I could enjoy life to the fullest. Take your time, enjoy the ride. The fun begins when you can see that it's about how you live your life, not about the destination.
