Chasing Dreams, Not Comparisons: Becoming Your Best Self
Hey there, my vibrant Bleu Bells,
Today, let’s brew some thoughts on a topic that hits close to home for many of us – the trap of comparison. We've all been there, scrolling through our feeds, seeing those picture-perfect moments, and wondering, “Why isn’t that me?”
The High-Rise Dream: More Than Just Envy
Recently, I caught myself daydreaming over a photo of a chic high-rise apartment. But it wasn’t about money or luxury. It was about freedom, passion, and living a life filled with things I love. It's about my dream of a blog touching millions, of a thriving shop page, and a successful YouTube channel, all while balancing my day job.
Comparing to... Myself?
Then it hit me – I'm not just comparing myself to others; I'm comparing myself to the future me. The Shay I long to become. The one who's making all her dreams come true. But there's this gnawing question: “Why aren’t I her yet?”
Dreaming vs. Doing: The Eternal Battle
We all have this ideal version of ourselves in our heads. The one who’s killing it in every aspect. But dreaming about it and doing it are worlds apart. The doing part? That's where the battle lies.
Breaking the Barrier:
From Now to Future You So, how do we bridge the gap between the now us and the future us? It's about taking those dreams and turning them into actionable steps. No more waiting for ‘someday’ or ‘when the time is right’. The time is now.
Action Over Inaction:
It’s about posting that first video, writing that blog post, or launching that product, even if it's not perfect. It's about progress, not perfection.
You vs. You: The Real Comparison:
Remember, the only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you were yesterday. Are you a little closer to your dream today? Then, you’re on the right track.
Unleashing Your Potential:
So here’s to not letting the current you hold back the future you. It’s about unleashing your potential, one step at a time. Let’s stop comparing and start doing. Because the only thing standing between you and your dreams is... well, YOU.
