Baby Step 39 to Fall into Better Habits

PREFACE: Read the backstory for this 5-part mini-series HERE.

PART 4 OF 5 - The fourth C: Do not compare.

Don’t rob yourself of joy. Stop pulling an Ocean’s Eleven on yourself. Get out of the thieving game and just stop doing it. Because in case you’ve forgotten…

Joy is your birthright.

And, yet, we don’t protect that right.

It has been said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” So don’t cheat yourself of the opportunity to be extraordinary.

Don’t allow ANYONE to compare you to someone else.

Don’t allow ANYONE to snatch your happiness from you.

Don’t allow ANYONE to stop you from living the life of your dreams.

Who says you can’t have it all?

Who says you can’t be rich or famous or whatever you want to be?

Who says you can’t improve your life at any age, at any stage?

Who says you can’t start over?

Who says?

Maybe you’ve heard this a million times from a million people: “You can’t.”

In that case, let me be the first to tell you: “YOU CAN!”

Now repeat that a billion times until you’ve heard it way more than “I can’t.”

So, the next time someone tells you something that you can’t or shouldn’t or mustn’t do, counter that confidently with today’s Baby Step:

I can and I will.
