We all start out thinking we can be just like the people who are really great.
Then comes a long season where the greats are up there I’m down here and I suck and I’ll never achieve what they’ve achieved.
Up next is…I’m done with the comparison game I’m just gonna do my thing because what I do can’t be compared to anyone else.
After this, if you’re not careful you’ll loop back to the second stage of…they are the anointed ones I’m not anointed so I’m just screwed.
But if you can truly move past this stage you’ll see this…
There really are people who are more skilled at this than me, which helps me know where I stand…and also reminds me that at one point they passed through my skill level too on the way to where they are. Which leads to,
I’m great at what I do and I can still learn a lot from the others. And they can learn a lot from me. We can compare (and appreciate) our skills and our skill level. I know where my place is at the table and that unlocks a freedom to connect with everyone at the table…and to keep getting better.
