Your Shoes...

And your failures.
You want to judge other people's
success because it makes you feel better
about your lack of it.
"They must have succeeded because they
got lucky. Or they're ripping people off.
"Or they know someone."
And you want to judge other people's failures
for that same reason. Bringing a high achiever
back to that pack makes you feel vindicated.
Please don't be offended. I've done the
same thing many times.
And I may not be talking about "you" at the
moment. Right this minute I'm thinking of
someone who was in enough pain to lash out
very publicly and inappropriately at someone
who did nothing wrong.
You want to judge your own failures.
Because even though failure sucks, it's still
something we're used to. So it's a comfort zone.
You want to judge your own successes.
Because most of us have a hard time
accepting the responsibility that comes
with higher expectations.
You want to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
And people want to walk a mile in yours.
Stop that.
Stay out of them.
Walk on mile in your shoes.
Get used to the idea that your shoes are good enough.
Holes in them. Laces untied.
But they're yours.
And you can fix them.
Don't judge other people. You don't know
what they've gone through. And they
don't know what you've gone through.
And don't judge yourself.
Assess your progress. Figure out what
you need to do, and what you need to
stop doing.
Fix it.
And move on.
That is all.

The reason I put know someone is caps
and bold up top is because it's true.
Who you know has a lot to do with the
kind of success you have.
Your environment counts.
And you can upgrade your environment,
when your confidence and consciousness
calls out to the right people.

And it's a big part of what I do in
How To Receive.
Walk in your shoes.
They're good enough to walk in.
