fulfilled. Only I know what my perfect anything is. I have to live with the choices I make and deal with the good, the bad and the
ugly so as long as I’m comfortable in my own skin, why do I look beyond that for approval and proof of my worth?
My experiences make me who I am and yours make you who you are. And the people we are become perfect in the moment. We grow, we change and we improve. We learn from our mistakes and move forward. It is the knowledge, skills and unique characteristics that make us who we are not the comparison. And
YOU are more than enough. In fact it’s bigger than that.
Just as every post/comment has the ability to make someone feel inadequate there is another that will change their life for the better. And who is more qualified to empower someone else than the person who’s had a rough time as of late? No one.
You see, every bump, detour and setback gives your life character and makes you who you are. Your
story matters and your experience matters. Sharing it authentically makes a difference. So stop comparing, stop wishing
and quit thinking “the grass is greener” because you are perfect right now. No one has it all together all the time, but we all have a story and YOURS can make all the difference to
someone else. Now go share it because your experience could help change the world.
