This month: Comparison & Self-Worth
Hey there, friend!
Can I tell you something I wish someone had told me when I was younger?
You are not behind. Not in your body. Not in your friendships. Not in figuring out who you are. There is no schedule that you are supposed to be on, and whoever made you feel like there was one, well, they were wrong!
Comparing yourself to someone else is like reading two different books. While they may be on Chapter 12 in their book, you are on Chapter 4 in yours... completely different, right!
I know how it feels to look around and think everyone else has it figured out. That everyone else is more, more confident, more comfortable, more everything. But here is what is actually true: they are looking at you and thinking the same thing!
This month, will you try something with me? Every time we catch ourselves comparing, let us ask ourselves this one question: What is one thing I know about myself right now that has nothing to do with anyone else? Because I know there are things about each of us that belong only to us.
How I laugh, or the way we each think, things that we each care about, places we each like to go, or the way you wrinkle your nose when you laugh. Those things cannot be compared. Those are the things that make each of us who we really are. Do not be afraid to be the real you, because we are both amazing girls!
You are not failing because someone else seems to be ahead. You are not behind. You are still growing. You are still becoming. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. You do not have to rush to become someone else. You are allowed to become you.
I am so glad you are in this club with me!
Cheering you on!
Nadia ♡
P.S. When you are feeling behind, remember the amazing things that make you, you!
