yesterday an email flashed by from a famous author.
She shared that her best way of relaxing before a book tour was cooking.
A few years ago, she decided that she would place a camera in her kitchen and film herself cooking and this show became an instant success.
As I read this, Comparison Karla, creeped out and said: “HA you have been trying this for years and SHE puts a camera up and BANG she has an instant successful cooking show. Maybe it is time to give up; you cannot compete with that.
Six months ago, I would have partied with Comparison Karla and spun into a despairing stew of not good enough.
Luckily another voice has been voiced, and her name is Possibilities Paula.
P2 shared: “Your Comparison is CONFIRMATION.
What confirmation to give up?
No, confirmation to go for it because:
1. Your only competitor is yesterday’s you.
2. Your Comparison confirms your desire is your real desire.
3. Your Comparison confirms people are looking for what she delivers. There is plenty of room for everyone.
Maybe you look at another and covet the curve of their arms or how they fit into a pair of jeans.
Maybe you see the success of others and desire that success.
Flip the script on Comparison and get excited because it is confirmation that your desire is your destiny.
The ego shares you cannot measure up to this desire, yet your true self, shares: go for it. That Comparison holds the truth.
Your way is your way. In other words, your path to this desire will be unique and when you can embrace that road and take it with gusto comparison becomes your faithful servant instead of your fearful foe.
The next time you compare yourself, get curious, and ask: “Is this what I want.” Then how can I get what she is having in my unique way?
All you need is the first step, that’s it. via ripl.com
