Many of us really want to live lives where we are holding ourselves to a higher standard.
Where we are working towards creating the world we WANT to see via our choices, our value systems, how we treat others, the way we speak to others and the parts of culture we do and don’t participate in.
Many of us are ‘doing our inner work’ and are realizing just how out of balance our current ways of being are in terms of how painful and harmful ‘normal culture’ is - and we want to be different.
We want to do different.
We want to be the change we wish to see.
But at the same time, as we work towards being different, as we work towards living lives that are in opposition to the norms and as we work to be better, we find that we often feel like we’re failing.
We find that there is always somewhere where we aren’t living up to our own standard, where we are participating in harm, where we are living in a way that doesn’t fully align with how we WANT to live - and in this many of us are going to feel like no matter how hard we try or how much we work - we can’t ever ‘get there’.
Today, I want to explore the realities of WHY it’s so hard to live with integrity in our world, and why many of us actually need to have more compassion for ourselves with how hard we’re trying and how much we ARE doing - vs. being harder on ourselves.
Because this world isn’t actually set up to make living a life of integrity easy or even practically accessible most of the time.
Let’s explore this today so that you can walk away with a more reasonable expectation of yourself, and the capacity to hold yourself with the right amount of expectation vs. compassion.
