How comparison hurts you
While thoughts and feelings about comparison are inevitable, it's helpful to see how comparisons get processed by Anxiety, the Drill Sergeant, and the Inner Critic.
In Memory of Brod Bello
And to those of you who have someone with whom you've lost touch and think it's a lost cause to reach out, please know that it's not too late. That even if it doesn't turn out the way you hope it will, stepping out of your comfort zone and taking the risk is always worth it. Don't make the same mistake that I made.
Making myself a priority
I realized I needed to approach relationships the same way I had approached tennis. I would make myself a priority. And in doing so, whatever other people chose had little to do with me. Because I had confidence that I could give myself what I needed. After all, hadn't I done it for all those other people? I am the most reliable person I know.
