Comparison is the thief of joy.

I'm sure you have probably heard this before but it's true. It is important to understand the difference between appreciating the success of others and comparing your path to theirs.

Find motivation in others success but forge your own journey.

Are you your own worst enemy?

I know that for me, I am the hardest on myself. I also know that mom guilt is real.

Giving myself some grace is something that I have to work on every day. In order to do this, I try to focus on the positive instead of the negative.

Focus on the small victories and remember that you are just one person who is doing their best.

Change is inevitable, like your toddler needing your full attention the minute you get on a zoom call. 🙃

The best way to deal with change is to prepare for it.

I know what you're probably thinking, change is unpredictable, how do you prepare for something you don't always see coming?

It's actually not as difficult as you may think. Here are some ways to be ready for change:

👉 Subscribe to newsletters revolving around your niche to stay on top of breaking news
👉 Follow accounts of others in your niche
👉 Pay attention to the needs of those in your niche

The key here is to let change roll off your back. Don't let change throw you off balance. Remember, no one grows in their comfort zone.
