How far have you come?

June 7, 2023

Having a vision of where we want to go is important. Goals help us to feel connected to the process.

I work with high performers. In work, in relationships, in life. Except there’s always a struggle with body image and weight and how it all relates to contentedness.

A common thread with all of them is that regardless of how much progress they’ve made, the elephant in the room is “how far I have to go”. While goals are important (how we frame those goals is contextual), we must never lose sight of how far we’ve come. Whether it be to place a focus on acceptance in order to move forward or to place a focus on gratitude to appreciate our current status and further practice acceptance, be proud of where you are.

At no point do we dwell on our status, regardless of where we are. We recognize it, accept it, and continue moving forward.

Have you taken time to be proud of where you are and the person you’re becoming?

    It feels righteous to put others' needs above our own. But if you value the happiness & comfort of others above that of your own are you really servingthem? Portraying martyrdom as sacrifice is the most selfish act. Put yourself first and give the world the best version of you.

    Spending your life trying to connect w/ppl you'll never meet while ignoring the ones right in front of you isn't "social". It's just media. This landscape is great for building your brand but terrible for building your life.
