What Happens When Life Doesn't Happen According to Plan

People, especially in today's world, often perceive their identity and self-worth in relation to external, material successes such as career, relationships, finances, status, etc. When life doesn't happen according to the plan or dreams someone has set for themselves, it can be disheartening and damaging to their sense of identity and self-worth. People may feel like they have failed or that they are not living up to the standards they have set for themselves. This can lead to feelings of worthlessness, depression, and self-doubt. It's important to remember that identity and self-worth are not based on material successes and should instead be based on what makes us unique, our inner-qualities, and our experiences.
