who are you comparing yourself to?
I find it incredibly easy to do a search on the Internet, check out pictures on Facebook or learn about the new diet my friend is on and feel as if I am falling behind in regards to where I “should” be. This act of simply comparing myself to others sets me up to feel like I’m working too slow, not enough or doing something wrong. I wonder how they got so smart, what resources they’re using and think wow, they are lucky they have the time, money, brain power, etc. to create THAT. The thing I continually need to remind myself of is that they don’t have anything I don’t. It’s about grabbing life by the balls (pardon my speech!) and running full powered with your dreams….taking one step each and every day to move in the direction you want to go.
We are all on a journey but at different points; create a conscious shift to be grateful for where you are and excited about where you are going.
80% of the population isn’t moving toward anything – they are perfectly fine where they are and have no intention of creating anything extraordinary– but not you.You’re striving for more – that my friend is a victory in and of itself. I see time and time again when I start coaching people that session 1 goes something like this: I want to lose 10 pounds, eat all organic food, have a six pack, never touch alcohol again, and run a marathon. "I’ve got 2 months, Carly, work your magic." Whoa baby! Let’s put the breaks on now. The excitement of creating transformation & growth creates the “I want it all, now syndrome.” I kinda sound like that with my business these days. The thing is that I work 2 jobs, am in 2 school programs AND I have made a commitment to myself to live healthfully spiritually, emotionally and physically as a single 27 year old busy professional trying to maintain a social life. Daunting much? It can all be done – step-by-step. One foot in front of another. Day by day.The “I want it all, now syndrome” does not serve you. It doesn’t serve me. Looks like there is truth in the saying, “slow and steady wins the race.”Phew, that feels good! What goal are you working towards now? In what area of your life do you need to apply slow and steady changes and growth to reach your goals? How can I help you get there? With love,Carly
