You can know you’re ready for more and still find yourself holding on to the things that feel familiar.
I’ve been thinking about how often we do this. We want something different for our lives, but we’re still looking at things through the same beliefs, making the same choices and expecting ourselves to somehow get a different result.
And I don’t think it’s always because we don’t know what we want. Sometimes it’s because the person we’ve been for so long feels so much safer than the person we’re becoming.
Maybe you’ve spent so many years being the one who figures everything out, or the one that keeps everyone happy or puts themselves under pressure to make things happen.
There’s nothing wrong with any of that.
But at some point, it’s worth asking whether the way you’ve learned to live is helping you get to where u want to be…
You don’t have to forget who you’ve been or everything that’s taken u to get here.. . Remember that some things that served at certain times don’t have to continue with u.
Maybe taking that forward step isn’t about trying harder. It could be about being honest with yourself about what you’re holding on to, and whether you’re ready to do things differently.
So here’s something to sit with:
To be the best , surround yourself with the best
