Learn methods to stay strong to not be influenced by family and society expectations

1. Self-Esteem and Empowerment
How to overcome family
expectations

2. Family and society expectations
The moment we are born, family and society
expectations are all set for us to follow.
Our family already has a standard or expectation for
us.
Our society also has expectations on how we should
think and live our life.
It is important that we do not get caught in their
expectations in order for us to live our life.

3. Our survivor needs
The main reason why many people have a difficult
time letting go of their family expectations is because
of our survivor needs.
When we are born, we rely on our family for our
survivor needs to help us get through life.
As we put our trust on our family at a young age,
the trust becomes a habit for us.
When we grow up, the habit makes it difficult for us
to believe in ourselves to make our own decisions.

4. Trust yourself
When it comes to your career and how you want
to live life, you are the only person who knows
what will bring you happiness, meaning,
fulfillment, and success.
You cannot rely on your family and society for
those answers and directions.
You have to learn how to trust yourself.

5. Set a boundary
You have to learn how to be strong and break that habit
of relying on your family when it comes to your career
and life in order for you to develop a successful life.
You have to learn when to rely and trust your family and
when not to.
There is a boundary for everything.
There are certain things that you can rely and trust your
family with, and then there are certain things you
cannot, which is your career choice.

6. Be strong
When you start to break your habit and begin your own
journey, do not be surprised that you will get criticism from
your family.
Anything that is outside of your family’s expectation or
boundary, they will believe that it is wrong or it is not
possible.
Since your family loves and wants to protect you from
failing, they will try to do whatever it takes to make sure you
do not fail and then try to take you off your path and back to
what they are comfortable with.

7. Build your self-esteem
In this case, you want to build your self-esteem, self-
confidence, and courage levels to help you step
outside of your family and society expectations.
Otherwise, you will be trapped and difficult to get
out.
