00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,440
Welcome back to the Thrivewell Journey.

2
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:22,600
This is the space where we explore what it means to truly thrive physically mentally

3
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,600
spiritually and financially and today we're tackling a silent killer of force so subtle

4
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:35,320
yet so destructive it can strip away your passion, rob you of your joy and leave you

5
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:42,200
questioning your dreams that silent killer is comparison.

6
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,760
We all know it don't we?

7
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,200
You're scrolling through social media watching someone else's highlight reel their wins their

8
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:57,520
successes their seemingly perfect lives play out like a movie and you can't help but feel

9
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,640
less than it's like a wing pressing on your chest whispering you're not enough you're

10
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,760
not doing enough you'll never measure up but here's the truth.

11
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:18,880
One of the only thing holding you back is the habit of comparing your chapter one to

12
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,200
someone else's chapter 20.

13
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,480
It doesn't just steal joy it paralyzes us it's a thief robbing us of the confidence

14
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,000
we need to take action in our lives.

15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,120
I remember when I first started this podcast in my entrepreneurial journey I looked around

16
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:47,560
at others who were miles ahead their businesses were thriving their audiences were huge and

17
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:55,520
I felt like I was standing still that doubt crept in fast questioning why them why not

18
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,360
me but what I didn't see was the full story their struggles their failures their years

19
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:11,360
of effort see comparison blinds us to the truth of our own journey it's like planting

20
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,440
a garden you don't give up the seeds every day to see if they're growing but when we

21
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,840
compare that's exactly what you're doing interrupting your growth by constantly looking

22
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,360
at someone else's looms so the question is how do we stop the cycle how do we break

23
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:37,600
free and reignite belief in our dreams and our passion first you have to recognize your

24
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:49,000
journey your path is your celebrate the small wins every step you take is progress second

25
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,680
take a step back from social media let's be honest most of what we see there is a highlight

26
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:02,960
real not reality take breaks detox and focus on your goals instead of their curated success

27
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:10,880
third shifts your focus with gratitude right two to three different things you're grateful

28
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:19,120
for every day gratitude doesn't just change your perspective it week calibrates your heart

29
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,680
and forth surround yourself people lift up find a community that celebrates your wins

30
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:38,320
no matter how small and reminds you of your worth when you forget now let's get practical

31
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:47,160
and learn some steps that you can take today to push past comparison and rebuild belief

32
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:55,320
within yourself so one reconnect with your why and why did you start in the first place

33
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:02,360
what passion let that fire visit that purpose and let it refuel you to set small attainable

34
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,640
goals progress builds confidence start small and let each win remind you of what you're

35
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:16,240
capable of and three welcome failure it's not a sign of weakness it's a stepping stone

36
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:25,200
to greatness every failure is a lesson that gets you closer to success finally trust your

37
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:36,400
timing success isn't one size fits all thing your journey is unfolding exactly as it should

38
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,000
now let me leave you with this there was a time almost gave up on my dream the weight

39
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,080
of comparison doubts and fear me question if I was truly meant to walk this path but

40
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:59,040
in my darkest moments I came to realize something no one can walk my path and no one else can

41
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:06,880
walk yours your purpose was given to you for a reason it's not a coincidence and it's

42
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,360
not a mistake you were uniquely designed equipped and called to do what only you can do the

43
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:22,240
struggles you face the victories you celebrate and even the setbacks along the way they're

44
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:32,320
all shaping you into the person you meant to become no one else no one else can live

45
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,920
your purpose because no one else has your story your perspective or your voice the world

46
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:45,080
needs what only you can bring and while it's easy to look around and think someone else

47
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:53,120
is doing it better faster or more effectively remember this they aren't you they can't be

48
00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,080
you your purpose isn't about perfection or comparison it's about showing up fully as

49
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:07,800
yourself and bringing your unique light to the world so when the road gets tough when

50
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:14,880
the doubt creeps in and when comparison tempts you to turn back hold on to this truth your

51
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:22,120
path is yours alone and your purpose is waiting for you to embrace it stay true to yourself

52
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:31,080
and keep walking forward the world truly the world is waiting for what only you can offer

53
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:38,000
now as we wrap up this episode and this chapter of the travel journey podcast I want to take

54
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:46,360
a moment to reflect over these first 15 episodes we've explored so let's look at the things

55
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,960

56
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:58,160
to how to thrive in all aspects of life but this is this just isn't the beginning the

57
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,160
journey doesn't stop here so I'll just ask that you stay connected with us as we evolve

58
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,960
and grow in the next chapter and the next phase of this podcast together we'll continue
