Acceptance

How often do you get stuck in comparing yourself to others? Income? Job status? Social life? Marriage? How about shifting the focus back to you? It’s alarming to experience and witness the ease of outward comparison instead of inner reflection. All of the juicy nuggets of uniqueness are ignored for something we don’t…

What is important to you? What do you desire but talk yourself out of? Is it a different job? A new hobby? A dream vacation? Growth in a relationship? Learning a new skill? Where does the ability to struggle, fail, get up and repeat come from? As…
