Who are you quietly trying to impress?

I read something recently — “The quality of your life depends on who you’re trying to impress.”

And I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

We don’t always realise it, but so many of our choices are shaped by that.

How we show up at work. Who we text back quickly. How we spend our weekends. What we say yes to, even when we’re tired.

Some of us might be living to impress people we want validation from.

Some, trying to impress the ones we subconsciously don’t want to disappoint.

And some of us are simply doing our best, not even realising how much we’re trying.
