Happiness and contentment are emotions we are well aware of but do we keep track of the countless times we’ve not prioritized them? 

 

Millennials often feel that what truly makes them fulfilling is not communicated and understood the best it could. This often leads to an overriding sense of detachment and discontentment which tends to have a domino effect on their aspirations. As a millennial myself, there have been countless occasions where I’ve felt entrapped in this cycle of unclear communication and misunderstanding.

 

Women, especially mothers who have often had to put a full stop to their career aspirations, often have to suppress, compromise, and adapt these emotions to suit the ambitions of their families and children. As a mother, I feel I was very late in realizing just how much my definition of happiness and being content was twisted over the years. After pursuing my MBA, I felt my career trajectory was going to be on the up, but motherhood meant I had to re-evaluate and reassess my aspirations. And This helped me realize that other working mothers should not put themselves in a position to choose between either, or, because they can do it all.

 

Even if you’re not a millennial, or mother, there are certain issues and challenges all of us face regardless of age and gender, both emotionally and mentally. The best way to deal with them is by having someone to talk to.
