Comparison isn’t just the thief of joy, it’s the thief of sight.
As soon as you start thinking about what you want and don’t have– you undermine your own progress and give it up for more desire.
But you should want more– that’s how you pursue and reach your potential.
So, the question is how do we keep perspective while striving towards the ideal? Since your brain is wired to compare, all you have to do is shift its direction.
Only compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
This simple reframe will give you what you need to keep going. Rather than looking at others, when I compare current me to last years version… they might as well be different people.
Not so surprisingly, saying that fills me with gratitude.
You want to get better? Here’s an awesome and helpful realization, personal growth doesn’t come through addition, but rather subtraction.
It’s not about what COULD YOU DO, it’s about WHAT SHOULDN’T YOU DO.
Don’t do things you don’t admire/ value/ like.
The inner conflict you struggle with evaporates as soon as you honor your own values.
Don’t like watching TV and wasting time? Don’t do it anymore. Don’t do it, despite how hard it feels when you’re wiped out and just crave recovery– find a better substitute.
Transformation isn’t all or nothing, it’s compounding.
It’s a day to day, monthly battle.
From now on, I’m committing to the journey and the discovery of pushing my limits. I want to see just who I can become when I embrace and incorporate challenges into my life. This used to mean risk, but now it means doing the task before me FULLY.
Wanna evolve? What can you stop doing that you hate?
