Really, it actually is all about you!
Has this ever happened to you: You’re sailing along, having a wonderful day, and all of a sudden, you look over at that person “over there” and start comparing where you are, to where they appear to be.
If you’re working on building your confidence, the quickest way to shoot it down? Start comparing yourself, or your current situation, to anyone else’s. As tempting as it may be, it usually doesn’t end up well.
You don’t know someone else’s back story or circumstances. You’re probably making a lot of assumptions…and you know what assuming does…
The interesting thing for sure? Everyone thinks that everyone else is looking at them and judging where they’re at; when in fact, everyone else is feeling the same way!!
When you make it about yourself, however, that’s when you’ll start to appreciate that you have your own specific trail you’re on, and it is exclusively yours. All your lived experience to this very moment is YOURS. No one else has had exactly the same experience as you and never could.
It’s your uniqueness that makes you…you!
So…how do you remember this, especially when those moments occur?
Are you willing to give it a try?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge for the next week...
Check in with yourself this week. When a moment of “I should be or I wish I was” crops up, maybe ask yourself:
What assumptions am I making?
What’s true about you and your situation?
Take a moment to look back at your own path and see how far you’ve come…impressive I bet!
Remember, it’s quite likely that someone else is looking at YOU in exactly the same way.
Stay in your own lane…it’s uniquely yours!
