Happy Tuesday everyone!
I wanted to spend some time getting away from those things that bring stress into our lives. There is so much more to life than paying bills, trying to impress people, or worrying about things we can't control. All of these things that we stress over are external to ourselves, they are outside our control and often times unavoidable. Instead of focusing on external things, we should try to focus on what we can control: ourselves. I wanted to write this morning about taking time to develop a true and transparent relationship with ourselves. I know that might sound cheesy or desperate in a society that puts such an emphasis on numbing our pain and avoiding our emotions; but there’s some truth to the saying, “you are enough.” It doesn’t mean we are free to let ourselves go, become slobs or stop trying. It’s all about embracing our uniqueness and stop trying to be someone we are not; because I can guarantee, we will fail every time we try to be anyone other than ourselves. ❤️There is only one YOU in this world, and it is your job in life to be that person, and no one else ❤️ Many people live their entire lives not really knowing who they are. We live in a constant state of worry and fear: fear of being fired, fear of being rejected, unloved or alone. Fear of the part of our life we have not yet lived. Fear of not measuring up to everyone around us. I can promise you; you will never be happy if you live your life in this way. Comparison is the killer of happiness.
Instead of comparing ourselves to everyone around us, whom, by-the-way, are also pretending to be someone they’re not… instead of comparing ourselves to others, why not discover the depths of the person we actually are. ❤️You are uniquely you ❤️ Many of us live our entire lives without really discovering the depth of what we are capable of, and the many layers that make up our Being; the courage, strength, resilience, determination, tenacity, emotional depth, and deep love we are capable of and are meant to live. Love yourself, love your life, love those around you and stop comparing yourself to others. Stop limiting yourself and your gift to the world, stop living in fear, and instead, embrace the beauty that is your essence... your life. Peace be with you always 🕊️
