Don’t Be Better Than…Be You.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. That may be great for the one being flattered, but it is limiting to the one imitating. Here’s what I mean: when we aspire to be like someone else, we are limiting our growth to that person. They now become a point of reference and measurement for our own potential. What if we were meant for more than that?

If my goal is to be better than _____, then that’s probably all I will ever be…better than _____. These goals (or inner vows) are often subconscious, but drive many of our decisions and life choices. Let’s not spend our lives trying to prove that we’re better than someone else. Let’s just be the best of ourselves.

What does that look like for you?
