🗻When I first heard the Dave Ramsey quote, "success is just a pile of failure you are standing on". I FELT THAT. Often times we see other people standing on top of their mountain of success and think of course… everything comes so easy to them. I could never do that because of *insert excuse here*. I don't really think that anyone has ever had it easy even if it sure feels like that sometimes. When you waste time and focus on all the hard s**t you have been dealt, you will not win. The only thing you will win is your role in best played victim.
By doing that, you are robbing yourself of joy.
I can say that because I've slipped into that place a few times this year and even though I knew exactly what games my mind was playing it felt too good to come out. It can be challenging to really look at yourself and decide to change your mood. We like to hold on to our failures and our stress. I don't know why.
What I do know, is at anytime I have the option to ask myself, "how would the best version of me show up right now?" and that's an extremely powerful practice.
