#67: "We Never Have it All Figured Out"
#67: "We Never Have It All Figured Out"
In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am debunking a common myth or misconception.
After interviewing almost 45+ women for the Collaborative Book, there have been some very common misconceptions or thoughts from others that I felt called to address to hopefully stop the stories we keep telling ourselves. The women who have stepped forward to share their chapter in the collaborative book, or even to the people who are sharing their stories publicly in the world do not have it all figured out. Believing that everyone else has it figured out limits what you believe you can do, especially when you hit the wall, which you WILL hit!! We are ALL a work in progress, and we are literally growing every single day. If we are growing and changing every single day, how can we possibly have it all figured out?!
In this episode we talk about:
1. When we compare ourselves to others and believe that we can’t do x,y,z, because we don’t have what someone else has, we are not staying focused or true to our journey. We are allowing our thoughts and energy to be on someone else’s journey and that will never create change in our lives.
2. We are ALL a work in progress every single day!
3. We are responsible for building, growing and expanding our own toolbox. Our toolbox is a collection of all of the experiences, lessons and things that we have learned in our lifetime. It is our responsibility to grow our toolbox, no one else’s.
4. We are not our stories. We are not our mistakes. Our stories make us who we are, but we are not our stories. We are a result of what we choose to do with what we are given. That is all on us!
5. The people who are showing up in life, sharing their stories in this collaborative book or who are showing up online or in their lives sharing their stories, are not through their challenges. Some of them are truly living in the thick of it every single day! They have built a better toolbox to deal with their lives and they use the lessons they’ve learned on their journey.
6. It’s time for you to stop over planning, stop comparing, stop believing the BS stories that you don’t have what it takes to do whatever you want to do in your life. You absolutely do!! You are always only one decision away from a completely different life!!
