What you see in the Mirror Should be your standard of Beauty – Not anyone else’s
May 7, 2017
This is an interesting topic for me to talk about because a large part of what I do with my life is write about how people can transform themselves and make their lives a little bit more pleasant. I often write how to be more in your truth, how to be more joyful, how to be more successful, within a relationship and also, and how to take your entrepreneurial dreams and turn them into your reality.
Although I don’t like to see my writing as give advice. Taking someone else’s advice more often than not, can prove to be dangerous. Many will give advice even though they aren’t truly in a position to be giving it. Others will give advice that is very one-sided and that cannot If be aligned to every person in every situation — in fact, it’s rare to find any sort of advice that holds true for any given situation.
This is why for the most part of my blogging . I keep my ‘advice’ simple & relative to my experiences. Every situation you find yourself in is entirely unique. The external factors and your own state of internal thoughts, can’t be replicated or fully understood by others.
See here’s the thing i solidly believe there is ALWAYS two solutions to every problem.
But that’s where you must truly align your decisions with your heart. Not someone else’s . It’s the power of your Decisions that WILL determine your outcome.
I see it too often.
You are motivated to change something in your life that’s not making you happy.
You catch a vision of the end result
You feel it deep in your core this is the answer
You get so freakin’ excited by the idea that you have a solution
You take action to figure out what your next move is
YOU RACE to tell your loved ones your ideas then Then BOOM
YOU’RE SQUASHED
YOUR DREAM IS SHAKEN
YOU VISION FEELS UNWORTHY
And you stop following your dream because that person or this people told you it won’t work
AND YOU LISTENED TO THEM.
Yes I know you know what I’m talking about
But here’s what I would ask myself
1. Have They have lived through exactly the same predicament as you, that all the factors are exactly the same.
2. Do they have the same wants and needs as you do.
3. Will repeating their actions lead to the same result?
4. Do they really have your wellbeing as their highest priority.
Yes I believe taking bits and pieces of advice from others and then catering them to your specific situation is definitely of benefit. but If they are not sharing your pain or struggle and if they are not in your body then stop listening to them.
I invite you today to think about starting to make decisions that allow you the time and space to think about what you really love and what really matters to you!
Love Marissa
