Sometimes you need an easy win.
Sometimes you need somebody who does not ask you to be someone else.
Sometimes you need a change of scenery, or a change of pace, or a change of people.
Sometimes you need to get in touch.
And sometimes you just need to accept and let go.
But it is true.
You can be your own hero, even when you feel broken.
When someone shares a thing they heard or saw, it’s not only that thing they are sharing. They are also sharing some of their expectations, emotions, opinions.
Keep that mind as you aim to getting to the bottom of it.
Many use the greater good only when it matches their own good.
They want to avoid changing their ways.
They aim at pushing back a difficult conversation.
They prefer not to confront their own fault.
And so, they claim that it is for the good of the whole, that they cannot do otherwise, that it’s what makes the most sense.
It’s a cheap excuse to preserve their own comfort.
There’s arguably nothing worse than feeling alone.
And that’s not sitting on your own when working, staying home alone, walking in a forest with no one around you, or even living by yourself.
It is the feeling of being the only one who sees something, who feels something, who experiences something.
There are two good news though.
The first is that we are more similar than we think when it comes to what we see, feel, and experience. So, connection is most likely available.
The second is that we have the possibility to build that connection by sharing our version first.
Habits are broken all the time, and when that happens, you need to allow yourself to go back a few steps.
Progress is very rarely linear, and thinking that it is, might actually keep us from starting again a healthy habit we have just failed at for a while.
If you were used to run 10km a week and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 2km this week?
If you are used to meditate for 20 minutes a day and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 5 minutes today?
If you are used to write 10,000 words a week and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 5,000 this week?
We are not machines and we need to be able to cut ourselves some slack once in a while.
