It is our human instinct to want to know where we stand in our tribe. This is one of the reasons we compare our self to others, to determine the pecking order.
Who is above us (making more money, life looks more balanced and put together)?
Who is below us (life appears to be falling apart, bad habits, etc...)?
Our instinct is always to be in the middle of the pack.
It's the safest place to be. It feels cozy and comfortable. Not stretched too thin, not just surviving...coasting.
Well, thank you brain for wanting to help us stay safe, but I don't want a safe life.
I don't want a settled-for-the-middle life.
I don't want a "it was good" life.
I want a life that is full of excitement, adventure, money, travel, impact and meaning.
I want to feel like I was "all-in"
I want to feel like my life made a difference.
I want my kids to see they can have it all.
I want to wake up every day with purpose.
Comparing yourself to others keeps you in the middle.
Believing in yourself and having the confidence to just know what you want, believe you can have it and then go after it....that's what it takes to feel like you actually have it all.
I choose that.
You in?
