I didn\u2019t want to be one of those people who became so consumed with their research that they forgot how to live life. LOL \u2013 <strong>I laugh now because the thing that I feared was what happened to me.<\/strong> A year into my PhD, I found myself struggling to find a balance (a story for another post).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I began to measure myself and my growth and progress against what those around me (and by around me, I mostly mean the people I knew back in Nigeria) were doing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">In my eyes, they were living the life, achieving their dreams and I was the struggling researcher living the work-to-home life 6 days a week. LOL\u00a0\u2013 What a silly comparison to make!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">For a long time, I struggled with feeling like I wasn\u2019t measuring up, feeling like I was left behind,\u00a0and not progressing. But recently it struck me that\u00a0<b>I am doing a PhD<\/b>! I tend to throw the word around because I am surrounded by other PhD students. But the truth is,\u00a0it\u2019s in no way a walk in the park and the people I am constantly measuring my life against are\u00a0<b><i>not<\/i><\/b>\u00a0doing a PhD and they are<b><i>\u00a0not me<\/i><\/b>!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">Everyone\u2019s journey is different and the truth is, we don\u2019t all have the same end goal and we won\u2019t all get to our end goals at the same time. Some people will get there at 20; others at 25; others at 30; and still others at 50. Yes, we all want to achieve greatness, and we also want to be successful and happy. But the truth is that success and happiness vary for every individual. Our lives are different and the factors that surround us are different. We can\u2019t expect to achieve everything at the same speed and in the same manner as others because we are not the same people!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">So here are my two cents on the matter. In this social media age where everyone\u2019s life is on Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat, it\u2019s easy to feel discouraged when your mates\/people you know seem to be doing so much more than you are, or seem to be having much more fun. But the truth is, most people only put up the good times. They don\u2019t post about their struggles, their stress, or their hurt. So, you measuring your\u00a0<i>entire<\/i><i>\u00a0life<\/i> against their <i>happy<\/i>\u00a0<i>moments\u00a0<\/i>is not ideal and doesn\u2019t help you in any way. It\u2019s like measuring your physical growth against a newborn baby. I mean, you won\u2019t get an accurate representation because you are both at two different stages of life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">Moral of the story \u2013 everyone is running a different race. Your race is unique to you and as long as you are running it to the best of your ability, that\u2019s all that matters. Keep running and achieving, cut yourself some slack, and celebrate your small victories!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">I say this all the time because it is super important! Celebrate your victories because life can be tough at times and people can be hard to please, so when you can, celebrate those small\u00a0victories! They make the bigger victories that much sweeter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Sharon Bolanta (<a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shayrunn\">@Shayrunn<\/a>) is a PhD candidate in the Republic of Ireland, at the University of Limerick.
