BE A TORTOISE

Everyone wants to capture the BEST. We want the best house, car, job, and even husband. I was thinking about how subjective the term best is . To determine what is best we must accept that we are competing with those things that are in our natural eyesight. It means that we are gaging our successes by others accomplishments. While it is good to have motivations from others it can cause a stagnation in following the assignment that has been given to us.

Gaging ourselves by what others do, how they do it, and when they do it can cause the exact opposite from the motivation we are seeking. We then begin to move further away from our assignment and move into needing validation for worthiness. This is a trap that even those with more money, property, or outside tangible wealth deal with. Often looking for others acceptance and determined path for our lives we find ourselves lost in a vision that belongs to someone else. That validation is a blindfolded attempt at worth. It will make you forget who you were created to be and slyly remove you from your proper purpose.

Make no mistake that we have the choice on how we will measure success but often we get overwhelmed by pressures that are accepted by the empoisoning of society. Challenges are meant to make you strong. Wanting things easy has become the oxymoron to what our world says we must do to accomplish successful habits. Think about running a marathon and how pacing yourself is essential. The object is never to quickly get through the race or catch up with a competitor. If you do either of these things you increase the risk of never getting to the end of the race and make it improbable to champion a win. You must stay on course utilizing tools that reduce anxiety and distractions of others. The old and simplistic story of the Tortoise and the Hare is how you not only embrace the best in you but also stay laser focused on your assignment. The win does not always come by the tactics that have worked with others. It may come through your own genius.

Find ways to celebrate yourself in each progression movement and let no one dictate how significant a movement that is. Redefine what BEST is and give others no choice than to accept it. You are the BEST and that is ENOUGH!
