Your Worth = Age(x) to Accomplishments(y)
Life event or Action: Accomplishment as a function of Age = Status1, Status2, etc.
Age and situation are an interesting thing. Humans have created a society where the narrative is about what you have accomplished and then further extrapolated by the age in which you accomplish it.
Status directly increases when you accomplish something and then the speed in which it increases is directly correlated to the age in which you accomplish it. Age is pretty straight forward but the accomplishment axis is wildly diverse. The dotted line is the worthiness of the accomplishment. A potential next version of this would then add up the status to achieve some sort of summation.
For the most part this graph sucks. Why does it suck? Because the interpretation of what an accomplishment is in our world is entirely broken.
However there is a small glimpse of a lesson in there. When you first think about an accomplishment in your mind, what does it look like?
When you read Status1, Status2, Status3, were you day-dreaming about money and materials or was it family and experiences? Both are okay. The important part is self-actualizing what part of the journey you are on, understanding what is important to you, and then working back to try and figure out why it is so important.
Simply being aware of this will help you unpack the WHY behind your actions. It will soften the edge with any outcome anxiety.
You will never stop worrying and that is okay! Get comfort and reframe a constant analyzation and worry as protection and provision. Worry is a drive, it pushes you further. The goal is to understand it better and take action faster. If something keeps running circles in your mind go write it down to forget it or solve it now.
I have always said we all need to embrace every age. Never stop embracing where you are. As long as you wake up everyday and contribute, you deserve to be happy. Be grateful for what you have and never stop challenging and pushing.
Keep living vicariously through yourself.
