I think it’s really important what we tell ourselves in the pursuit of our best life and living out the best versions of ourselves, and I think we can actually shut down our momentum / our progress when we set ourselves up with the wrong framework or the wrong expectations.
I don't believe we can “be anything we want to be,” and the blind pursuit has left many people feeling unfulfilled or “less than.”
At the very least, comparison of your lot in life, of your day-to-day existence, of your body or your home, your job or your business, of your vacations, of your accomplishments - that comparison will kill your joy - but worse - that comparison and the “falling short” of it all will oftentimes kill the version of you that IS possible.
Can we be whatever we want to be? Whatever we wish to be? No, I don’t think so. But, there's better news.
