Commit to being Curious and Engaged with your own life…

Comparison is the thief of joy…and the root of “not enough” feelings. As I recommit to coaching, writing, illustrating, posting Verbal Remedies, and ask the world (me?) to take me seriously in this work, I find myself comparing. I was on a call last night with amazing women who are all speaking and offering their gifts at the same event that I am. I looked at all their faces on the zoom call and found myself in awe to be in such company. Quiet thoughts of insecurity passed through my head as I listened to them owning who they are. 

I’ve been there before. So many times, only to find out later others were thinking the same thoughts, comparing themselves to me. I’m willing to bet that most of us do that. We scope the landscape to see where we might fit. We chip away at our own hopes and dreams in order to find a comfort zone and be accepted. 

Well STOP THAT MIERDE! Commit to being curious about yourself and what you have to offer. Commit to being engaged in your one very precious life. Look to your hopes and dreams and stay on your path, even when it gets bumpy. Especially when it gets bumpy…you will know it’s your own path…it’s not so well travelled because it is uniquely your own.
