When Did Everything Become Such a Competition?
I don’t remember it always being like this.
The only person we should ever compare ourselves to is a previous version of ourself.
But that's not what happens most of the time is it?
The prettier the picture, the more likes.
The thinner the waistline, the more admiration.
The less wrinkles, the better.
“How I made $470,000 this month, part time, from my bathtub!”
I saw a man who was 20 years older than me jogging today. He had calves of steel AND stamina.
I, on the other hand, was on my way to the beach to take a nap in my hammock.
Confidence and self esteem have usually come very naturally to me. But lately I feel like everywhere I look nowadays it’s just about getting, doing, and being more.
More!
More!
More!
It’s all so stifling to the spirit.
Goals are great but…
Not at the cost of our self worth.
Society puts so much pressure on us.
And I think we put twice as much on ourselves, whether consciously or not.
