Getting Caught in the Comparison Trap
Comparison is one of the worst things you can get yourself into. It leads to unworthiness and is a dangerous trap to fall into especially with social media. For Craig, he has a very intentional relationship with social media. He knew it was a great vehicle to extend reach, make an impact, and share content. Throughout his journey, he would see people a little bit further ahead and it made him feel some type of way for a second. But ultimately, he realized that these people are on Chapter 9 while he’s on Chapter 2. Now, he’s only competing with who he was yesterday. In his words, “marry the process, divorce the outcome”.
Eulogy Exercise
The eulogy exercise is where you pretend that two weeks for now, you’ll be gone from this world and people are gathering around at your funeral. You have to ask yourself two questions: who would be there and what would be said about you? Did you leave a legacy, an impact, or a contribution? This is where you can collect honest inventory and do a deep dive on your life.
