It’s so easy to define ourselves by individual moments. You know, when we mess up or win an award, we think to ourselves, “This is it! This is who I am!” But we aren’t just the one thing that we’ve done. We aren’t even the pattern of behavior we’ve exhibited throughout the years. We are …
Fear is normal. We all have fears. But we don’t always work on conquering our fears. Why? Because we think it’s hard. And our nasty little gremlins much prefer if we stay cooped up in a big fluffy ball of self-loathing than evolve. But here’s the truth – here’s what our gremlins don’t want us to know: …
We all have monsters in our lives that we fear. But our fear is irrational. And it can go away if we want it to. There are two ways we can conquer our monsters: Acknowledge the monster and recognize it as something we made up in our heads. (Because, you know, stuff we make up in our heads …
Self-perception is an odd thing. We can try and try and try to not let other people’s words and actions determine our self-worth, but it’s really hard.
