So many of us are looking to others - how those around us are living their lives and the path that others have taken - and we’re comparing ourselves and feeling that we’re lacking.
We’re looking at the paths that others have taken and we are labelling those paths as being ‘right’ - and then we are looking at OUR lives and the paths WE have taken and saying that we are ‘wrong’ by comparison.
But the reality is - your life is never going to look like anyone else's.
Your path is your path and in order to FEEL good about that, we need to learn to accept that we are not going to have a life that looks like anyone - so we can’t compare.
Let’s talk about how we can come to a place of learning to accept OUR path for how IT looks without feeling shame about that due to comparison.
Check out my latest video below and let me know what you think!
Your Path Is YOURS - You Can’t Compare To Find What’s “RIGHT”
They say that comparison is the thief of joy - and in many ways this sentiment is true.
But this doesn’t stop most of us from looking at our lives, our accomplishments, our status and our feelings of satisfaction/dissatisfaction and then measuring them against the seeming ‘success’ of those around us.
Many of us have a really hard time accepting that our life path isn’t going to look how others look, or even how WE thought they were going to look based on the expectations we’ve been trained to assume and embody.
Many of us don’t see how heavily indoctrinated we are in terms of what we’ve been taught to be the ‘right way’ to live life - and we don’t see how much pain these rules are causing us to feel when we measure our lives and our lived reality against them.
The truth is, most of us feel terrible in our lives and dissatisfied with our paths not because there is actually something objectively WRONG with how we are living or how we are progressing - but rather simply because we are comparing ourselves to others who aren’t us.
We are hurting not because there is anything objectively painful about our own experience, but because we are telling ourselves stories about where we ‘should’ be and what we ‘should’ be experiencing and this is making us feel inadequate when we are actually totally fine.
Today I want to talk about how we can start to learn to accept our personal paths as good enough - even when they don’t look like the paths of others and when they don’t look like the paths we thought we would walk.
Let’s learn how we can be more compassionate and accepting of ourselves so that we can enjoy our journey - which is what we ALL deserve to be able to feel and experience.
