Comparing our insides to somebody else's outsides is a set up for failure. It is much more beneficial to compare ourselves with ourselves. Looking at our own personal growth path can be a helpful and inspiring tool. Looking deeply at who we are today and comparing that with the person we were last year, last decade or in childhood, is a powerful, encouraging tool for self assessment.

The average human life is about 4000 weeks, or 80 years. Life is not a dress rehearsal, as Oliver Burkeman points out in his book titled, Four Thousand Weeks, that turns common ideas about time management upside down.
What we really get in life is time. How we spend our time really IS up to us. We have free will, but many of us don't believe it. We often push the lifestyle we really want and what truly makes us happy into the future and live daily life in an unconscious grind. Maybe it's time to change our relationship with time.

It is common to project our own limited beliefs or past experiences onto the God of our understanding. We place limits on the infinite creative force. We might even believe that "God is love, or loving," intellectually, but deep inside we don't expect to be provided for, or that our dreams and hopes could be fulfilled.
Examining our practical beliefs often shows us that we need to expand our conceptions of divinity. For many of us, it's time to get a bigger God.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the news these days. But when we are present and mindful, things are not as bad as they may seem. In fact, there is quite a bit of evidence that things are pretty good on many counts. We need to be compassionate with ourselves and selective about the information we consume. How we nourish our minds is as important for our health as how we nourish our bodies.

We all carry tribal energy within us. Tribal or cultural norms and taboos can hold particular power to evoke shame meant to control our behavior so that we act in ways approved of by our society, family or religion. But what is considered right or wrong is not fixed or static. Cultural norms vary wildly over time and across continents. What is OK in one place may get you killed in another. Questioning our cultural norms and shame is often part of the journey or self discovery and personal growth.

Telling our truths, or lies, is an ancient, soul cleansing process. Looking honestly at ourselves, known in 12 Steps as "taking personal inventory," is a very healthy practice or self examination. Sharing what we find, getting honest about how we really feel and revealing the behaviors and beliefs that cause us shame and guilt is incredibly liberating. Like house cleaning, when we dump our old garbage, it makes room for more of what we really want to cultivate in our lives.
