Since; I was 23, 2005; I learned that it is ok to be who I am and to speak of my trails and times of a survivor. I learned that I should let people know up front, on many different levels of relationships so they understand this is who I am and I am great with who I am as a survivor living life to the fullest!
To that extent; many people I have learned over the years try to compare themselves to each other or compete. I have learned through everything I have had in my life to sit back, let everyone go before me and then go at my own pace escaping the group of comparing each other. It is very similar to running a marathon, in my opinion.
The reasoning of showing the similarities is to understand that this is how I learned how NOT to compare my abilities to anyone else. I learned in training with Training to End Stroke to run marathons; that the day of the marathon, wait for everyone to go past you and go at the end because you are not timed with that but you are timed by the chip attached to your shoe. This way you do not lose your energy and you do not get into a heard of people. I think that this is what has helped me to realize; I am NOT comparable to others and I should for most of all my abilities do it at my pace and not others. I do not go with the crowd and let them pass. I have a lot of patience; to some many too much but it is the best thing for me. In essence; I have learned who I am fully and trust myself and have for many years. It is very hard at times; but this is when I really started living and making sure it was for me too!
For example; when you walk into a room and certain people put on a front to ensure that they are perfect; realize you are who you are and not to get involved with comparison. It is hard. I know. I lived it too. However; your ability to walk into a room the same way you leave a room of comfort of who you are is the most important. Trust Yourself; be your best friend and make decisions that support who you are not someone you are trying to compare your life too.
I have learned what my true passion and it shines through in everything that I do. My confidence of conversation and ability to be truly living life without bragging is a goal to a HGP. People will try to cut you down and make you a small human being because of their insecurities because they see you happy, confident and content without bragging. I believe that this was one of the good quotes on the feed for the facebook page. I felt the need to write and inform people of this information from how my life has been from learning to accept myself and not compare and I am happy in life!
