• She warns against chasing the “aesthetic life” portrayed on social media, noting that much of what people see online is not reality.
• Zari encourages people to start small and work their way up, emphasizing patience, consistency and hard work.

Zari Hassan has shared her thoughts on the pressure to live an aesthetically pleasing lifestyle, warning people against chasing the image of success they see on the internet without being willing to put in the work.

Speaking about the realities of success, Zari noted that many people admire the glamorous lifestyles portrayed online but rarely consider the effort and sacrifice required to achieve them.

“You as a person who’s admiring this life, are you willing to put in the work?” she questioned.

She added that some women are “breaking their backs” trying to achieve the picture-perfect lifestyles displayed on social media, yet much of what people see online is not always an accurate reflection of reality.

Zari encouraged people to focus on building their careers and lives gradually rather than rushing to attain overnight success.

“Start as a junior executive, and you’ll become a senior executive with time because people in the company see your efforts,” she said.

She also emphasized that not everyone is meant to be a business owner, suggesting that success can come through different career paths and that people should be willing to grow from wherever they start.
