It's always you vs. you.  Your race at your pace.  Yet, it's so easy to compare and compete with everyone around us; to feel like we're not qualified or under equipped.  Like anything new, the growth happens in the process, by putting in the time learning and figuring things out.  Every new experience is an opportunity to go beyond where we are presently. 

So how do we recognize that this journey we're on is not a sprint, but a marathon?  When we speed through the process and spend it measuring up to others, we rob ourselves of the joy of the journey and the pride that comes from all of our hard work. 

As you listen, think about your journey and who you're becoming.  When you find yourself falling into the comparison trap, remember - this is your race at your pace.  Be grateful for the growth ahead and the growth you've seen behind you.  Each step is putting you one step closer to where you're meant to be.  Be so grateful for that!

XO,
Bridget
