Scrolling through social media, it’s easy to feel left behind or inadequate—a sensation known as FOMO, or fear of missing out. While often portrayed negatively, Jen Gottlieb’s 'Be Seen' offers a transformative perspective: FOMO is not your enemy but your emotional compass pointing toward what you truly want.
FOMO signals unmet desires and highlights areas in your life craving attention. Instead of succumbing to jealousy or bitterness, Gottlieb encourages using FOMO as motivation. Acknowledge the feeling, identify the underlying goals it reveals, and channel that energy into inspired action.
Success leaves clues. Studying the paths of those you admire uncovers actionable steps and mindset shifts that you can adapt to your journey. This approach turns comparison into a learning opportunity rather than a source of despair.
Gratitude anchors this process, fostering appreciation for your progress and the inspiration others provide. This balance reduces anxiety and promotes a positive outlook.
One entrepreneur overwhelmed by comparisonitis began documenting her role models’ journeys, applying lessons to her own business, and turning FOMO into focused growth. This shift propelled her from paralysis to progress.
By embracing FOMO as a guide rather than a threat, you open the door to greater clarity, motivation, and fulfillment.
