'Be Your Best Self' - number 1 - Be you as everyone else is taken
(The curse of comparison)
It would be fair to say that we have all had moments where we see others who seem to navigate life with more abundance or ease or joy, and wish we were different.
We question how do they do what they do and not struggle, or look at others lives and think they’ve got it better. It’s an easy thing to do, to compare.
The trap with comparison is it's completely loaded, as most times we are comparing to what we are shown and not the truth behind the scenes.
We compare to others who have chosen to deflect anything that might require healing. Those who have reached levels of success at a huge cost to other areas of their lives. And those who have a very different set of circumstances to ours.
Comparison is a trap. It either diminishes or inflates.. and it certainly doesn’t add any value whatsoever.
We each have our life lessons to learn, our unique journey to take. And to compare is insanity.
Being our best self is only ever achieved from a place of non-comparison. A place of owning our personal evolution. A place of betterment from within.
When we compare we are wishing we were more, had more, were dealt a different hand, or had a different life path… and yet the path we have is our own unique path.
Being a better version of ourselves than we were yesterday.. now that’s what it’s all about.

'BE YOUR BEST SELF' - NUMBER 2 - look for depth
(what can you cultivate a step at a time)
Take time to explore what lights you up, and not just rush to the next thing. As when we pause and deepen we can then embody whatever that is to take into our every day.
If you seek calm - deepen into a practice of meditation.
If you seek love - deepen into loving ways with yourself.
If you seek a certain career - deepen into the qualities that are required.
Depth adds quality and richness to life.
Question - what got you looking for depth?
