You're scrolling through your feeds, and suddenly, it's 3am. You're comparing your life to everyone else's highlight reels, and you're starting to feel like you're failing. That's where the 50-30-20 rule comes in.
Here's the deal: 50% of your life is going great. You've got a nice house, a good job, and you're eating well. You're living your best life. 30% is a mess, though. Your car broke down, you got a parking ticket, and you're eating ramen noodles for dinner (again). And 20% is when you start comparing your 50% to everyone else's 80%.
This is where the real problem starts. You're not just comparing your life to others, you're comparing the highlight reels of others to your actual life. And let's be real, nobody posts about the time they had to eat ramen noodles for dinner, or the joy of waiting in line at the DMV.
So, here's what you do: you take a step back, and you focus on your own 50%. You don't compare, you create. You focus on your own goals, your own dreams. And you remind yourself that nobody else has the same 80% that they post on Instagram. Because let's face it, nobody's life is that perfect.
