Get off the treadmill
The more we believe the phrase "I am enough" to be true, the more joy we experience.?
This inner satisfaction/confidence leads to a grateful perspective that views each day as a journey to be enjoyed rather than a competition to be won.?
Unfortunately, the overachiever struggles to embrace the idea that “I don’t?need?to do/achieve more” because we’ve built our entire identity on outworking/achieving everybody else.?
Intellectually, we’ve learned that every new accomplishment rarely leads to lasting joy, yet we struggle to jump off the achievement treadmill.?
What if today, we all took a break from running the race, took a deep breath, and gratefully enjoyed who we’ve become??
We can always jump back on the treadmill tomorrow… ? ?
