When You Don’t Want to Hear “You’re KILLING it!”
I see you.
I see your struggle.
I see you judging yourself against a stranger’s best day.
I see you wishing they could express what you’re feeling inside publicly but worrying that if you do you’ll be seen as a “loser,” a “failure,” a “whiner,” or worse.
We all struggle.
Yet, at the same time, in the social media heavy world we live in, we feel this immense pressure to only put the good on display.
So we are ALL judging our own messy 100% against everyone else’s top 10%.
What is visible…is never the whole story
When a friend or acquaintance sees only the tip of your iceberg and says “You’re killing it!”
While you’re financially strapped
While you’re struggling with your relationship
While you want to take the next step, but feel stuck
While you have a client who you’ve been chasing down for payments for months
While you feel like your entire life is a Sisyphean nightmare that never ends, and your car breaks, and your dog is sick, and your grandmother is in the hospital, and your partner breaks their leg, and your kids are constantly sick, and, and, and…
It can really suck to hear that.
So, I’m not going to tell you that you’re killing it.
But I will say:
I see you. Life is hard. And your feelings are valid.
And also:
You are strong. I believe in you. You are so much more capable than you think you are.
And even though it hurts…
