If you’re scanning every moment, looking for the bad, you’ll find it. Because that’s what you’ve programmed yourself to look for.
If you’re scouring every face for evidence that you’re not enough, you’ll find it.
Because that’s what’s in your search engine.
If you’re endlessly scrolling, you’ll find evidence of people living their best life, and you’ll feel worthless.
Because you’ve played the go-compare game.
If you listen to the nay-sayers and doom-mongers, you’ll think that you can’t.
Because that’s who you’re listening to.
Hey, these are easy habits to slip into. But can you see that the connection is YOU, and the filters you apply.
Personally, I figure that I can’t change the world.
But I can change mine.
And you can change yours!
At Art of Brilliance, we’re not happy-clappy. We’re not advocating rose-tinted Ray-Bans. In fact, we’re the opposite. Our role is to help you learn to clean the s### filter from your existing ones. We’ll help you to look differently and to see clearly, because, guess what…
Scan every moment for what’s good, and you’ll find it.
Scour every face for evidence that you’re amazing, and you’ll see it.
Quit the go-compare game and you’ll feel worthy.
Listen to the go-getters and can-doers, and you’ll realise you can.
Brene Brown says it better than I ever can. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you.
Amen.
