Daily Gratitude: Have you ever felt that you’re just not good enough? That you can’t “get it?” I have. But then, if I take the time to look at everything, I’ll realize “of course you’re not good enough, Terrie. You just started doing this.” And that’s usually the case. It’s something i just decided to delve into because it seemed interesting. So of course I wasn’t doing it well yet. That’s more of our instant gratification Philosophy. We need to realize that we can get better- a lot better- if we just keep plugging away. But here’s where comparison comes in, and is, as usual, dangerous. We may see someone else doing this thing and doing it a lot better than we do. So, instead of saying “I can get that good too, if I just continue to practice.”, we mope around, feeling inferior and unhappy and then decide to give up on it. What if we just kept trying to get better and continued trying ? I think we’d get better at just about anything we’re doing. Keep on trying and stop comparing. Do daily and weekly evaluation and you will see progress no matter how small. Keep going!
