IN THIS LESSON
-
We have heard that comparison is the thief of Joy, and it is! Let's be real, we all compare. We have been taught to do this in so many aspects of culture: school, religion, work, family systems, etc.
Comparing ourselves with each other and within ourselves becomes problematic because we separate and divide. This binary way of seeing and listening makes some things good and other things bad. Judgment blocks learning. Leaning into understanding the energy of why we compare, opens us up to receive wisdom and courage lives here. Go beyond what we know and venture into new territory.

This quality of listening and seeing allows space for our blocks and blinders to soften the judgement and be curious what is the deeper message. Opens a space for connecting to what we need to hear and see to hold ourselves with courage and feel connected to our inner knowing.
