Manage episode 365228134 series 2983028
As midlife women, we have experienced so much, and that has shaped us into the wise, brave, and deep individuals we are now. We have unique stories to tell and so much to offer the world. So why waste our time comparing ourselves to others?
There are dangers in comparison that we need to be aware of, and that’s one of the reasons why I want to discuss this topic. Comparing can either make us more of ourselves or the other way around. I’m here to give you the things that you should do when you’re in that situation – comparing yourself to other people.
BraveHearted Women, let’s stop comparing and start embracing our own life journeys. Remember, you have a story to tell, and I am here to support and cheer you every step of the way. Together, let’s run our races, live our potential, and inspire others to do the same.

Quotations:
“Comparison is not good for us unless we’re comparing ourselves with our own past selves, focusing on our personal growth.”
“When we compare ourselves to others, we shift our focus from being the best version of ourselves to constantly measuring up to someone else’s standards.”
“Comparison is a slippery slope. It leaves us feeling discontented and unable to appreciate our own progress.”
“Instead of seeking external validation, let’s focus on our own calling, our own purpose, and what God has in store for us.”
“Our mission on Earth is to live up to that potential and inspire others to do the same.”
“Remind yourself that you are enough. You are running your own race, and you are making progress.”
