When you look at yourself, be proud. Be proud of the work that you put in. The steps you are taking towards your own goals. Don’t compare yourself, your training, your progress to anyone else. Comparing yourself to others does nothing but hinder your progress and demotivate you from getting better. It kills the desire to want to progress and shuts down any opportunity to trust and enjoy the process because you constantly feel like no matter what you do, it’s still not good enough.. It doesn’t allow you to ever be proud of the work and effort you are putting in everyday are blinds you from being able to see the progress that you are actually making. It’s okay to watch others and learn but don’t do it in a way that discourages you and makes you feel bad about where you are at in your own journey. Because that’s just it, it’s YOUR journey. Everyone’s journey is different. Everyone will progress at different rates and in different ways. Someone else’s success doesn’t take away from yours and just because someone may be lifting more than you at the moment doesn’t mean you aren’t progressing, improving, and getting better everyday . Focus on your own journey and remember to celebrate your own small wins along the way. 🫶🏼
