Moving Forward

It's so strange. I browse on Instagram and peoples stories curious for the lives they live and I always think the same thing. 'Wow they're doing so much in their life, but what am I doing?' Everyone seems to be moving forward in life, getting good jobs or possibly earning a degree with high value and I start to feel hopeless and stuck. I have a job and everything but it still feels like I'm stuck in this endless loop. I take a step in life then pause. I pause for so long until someone comes up behind me and pushes me. Others just seems to climb the stairs like it's nothing. Comments after I post this might say. "Then move forward", "Try something different", "Do something new in your life". But again it feels like I'm stuck. Because if I move forward I'll stick to the step for so long until someone pushes me forward. They would need to push hard, almost violently to just get me to do something.
Does anyone get this? Or understand. I know what I have to do, it's more a matter of fact on 'how' do I move forward without having to need something or someone to push me to that point.
I wouldn't have got a job if my parents hadn't pushed me to brink to get it.

Comparing yourself to others on Instagram is not a good habit. Do you ever think about scenarios where circumstances out of your control, like health issues, would deter you in your life for a couple of years? What would you do then?

I might be wrong but the reason you are not motivated to move forward might be that you don't even want things other people have, you just might feel the pressure to get them because people around you make you believe that's how your life should be. You might see someone getting a good job because it's something they genuinely enjoy doing and this is just the result of the work they put into it. If you'd do the same without their enthusiasm, you'd likely still live a miserable life, stressed over the job you don't enjoy but with a good pay and good social status to present on social media.

social media is an illusion, don't be taken in by it, learn to see through it.

I think you have to push yourself. Be ahead of yourself. Begin and try keep the momentum going
