It's one of my biggest ones...
Who are you comparing yourself to?
I was working on a podcast for the end of January about this and it's going to take some time...because my stories are all up in my face. I'm still very much on my Becoming journey.
Here's who I compare to:
Other people in my field
Other people outside my field
Women who are "prettier" than me
Women who are taller than me
Women who are smaller than me
My husband
"Better" Christians
“Better" helpers
Imaginary people
Ideals of people
Instagram perfect people
People with bigger followings
People who fill events faster
People who fill courses faster
People with "happier" children
People with bigger houses
People with bigger wallets
People with smaller wallets
People who are "better" activists than me
People who are more resilient than me
Insecure people who don't display #reallife
Who I tell myself I’m supposed to be...
Who I tell myself I’m supposed to be...
And there it is.
Who I tell myself I'm SUPPOSED to be.
Here's the deal. The rest of that list only plays a role if I let it. It only has power if I give it.
Ultimately its between me and me.
Ultimately its between you and you.
There is a part of us that innately knows what we are capable of. And it whispers to us what is possible.
It's whispers to us about what we are called to.
But there is a louder voice that gets in the way, comparing us to everyone else. The tells us we can't, should, shouldn't...
Only when we quiet that voice can we hear the whispers.
Only when we quiet that voice can we move toward what we inherently know is possible.
I'm here to help you quiet the voice.
