Living in a box

If I am always needing to be better than
or
I see myself as less than
I never get to be at peace.

It's so ingrained in us to compare ourselves. We were taught this as children and encouraged to keep it up as adults. We do it without thought and accept it as a way of being. What if there is another way? What if you could refrain from the judgement? In comparing, we set ourselves up for failure or just simply feed our ego.

Personally speaking, it's one of my greatest challenges to quiet down the voice that wants to tell me that someone is better or that I am better. I struggle with how certain people perceive me. And then the flip side are the people that I encounter that I judge and make assumptions about. If we could just allow people to show up and be who they are, what would be possible? Its so automatic that we judge and put people in little boxes. I don't know about you, but I don't want to fit in a box. I am a multifaceted human being as we all are.

We can sometimes be hardest on ourselves. I realize that the more I don't put you in a box the more I let myself out of my own box. And everyday I am feeling more empowered to be even more of myself, to take the lid off of my box. As I write I am giving the part of me that wants to express itself- a voice. I am tapping into my ability to be fearless. I want to share without compromise. I want to be a space for people to live outside of their box. I want to be a space for you to feel free.
