One Of a Kind

Have you ever wondered why you are not getting to the next space in your life? It could be in business, personal relationships, or anything else you have wanted to accomplish or be, but instead, you keep going around and around. I feel you 100% and have thought about this for a while.

For me, it is the stories I tell myself. I don’t care what people say or think about me, but I realize I do on some level. These stories I fill my head with are mostly untrue, but they give just enough weight for me to second-guess myself. I know none of us follow the same path, yet there is a lot of judgment around people who take a different course or do something differently. I know we are all unique, and our paths are designed differently for each of us.

So, how do we embrace our extraordinary journeys and stop that inner critic voice telling us the things we do not want to believe? For me, it is taking a step each day in the direction I want to go in and saying kind and positive affirmations when I hear those negative ones. It is choosing to believe the right people will show up and believing in ourselves without expecting others to do that for us. Of course, I am not naive in my thinking or believing that there will never be judgment again, but I trust the work that I am doing will allow me to keep moving forward and not get distracted by the outside views.

Life would be boring if we all did the same things in the same way. I believe society created a one-size-fits-all, but how amazing it is to be ourselves!! XO-Rach
