Episode 87: A Surprising Way to Break Free From Self-Criticism & Comparing Yourself to Others

The Best of You

NOTE

Embracing Healthy Confidence Without Comparisons

True healthy confidence lies in having a humble and honest awareness of one's strengths, weaknesses, growth curves, and limitations. Comparing oneself to others, whether through self-shaming or judgmental pride, does not reflect healthy confidence. Constantly looking horizontally to set standards based on others is not productive. Instead, focusing on one's own path, recognizing areas of struggle, growth, and progress, with the support of trusted advisors, leads to embracing God-given confidence and purpose. It is essential to shift the focus from comparing oneself to others to seeking who God wants one to be and the calling and growth opportunities God has set before them.
