Sometimes its not about waiting til you are in some ideal situation to start growing and changing your life. Just gotta start growing where you are. It's been my experience in my own life but in all the listening to others that I've done over the years, that so many of us compare our growth to others instead of just celebrating ourselves. Its not a bad thing to give yourself credit for how far you've come. Even if the only thing you've been able to change is being able to get out of bed. My self talk goes something like this... Everything step in the right direction counts. Stop selling yourself short just because you aren't where someone else is. Life is not a competition with others. Its a competition with yourself. Judge yourself by your own rules and if you are falling short.. well improve from there. If you want to get somewhere, well.. add your next step to your list and tomorrow take it. But stop worrying about what step others are on. Stuff I'm wearing...
