Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The pain.
The rising heat.
The sweat.
The anxiety.
The foolish feeling.
The shame washes over.
Worthless, failure, outcast, downbeat.
Shame is easy.
Shame scars deep.
This is how we feel when empathy is denied.
Empathy is hard, yet empathy nourishes.
This is how we feel when empathy is applied.
Loved, forgiven, understood, included, worthy, uplifted, better.
Don’t ever accept just ‘good enough’. It’s not about perfection either.
We often do as a protection against the fear of either success or failure. Most often we fear success as we are fearful of the changes that can bring to our lives.
But just ‘good enough’ is letting ourselves down and we have a responsibility to us to do the best that we can.
It is not about doing better than others or striving to achieve other people’s view of what success is.
It is about doing our best and achieving what success looks like to us.
