Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.

Do you ever feel like it’s so easy to lose sight and get bogged down with what’s going on around you?

You are not alone.

Technology brings a wealth of information (sometimes too much), but knowing how to decipher the information and not compare yourself to others is the key. The important thing is that you remain authentic to yourself and not get caught up in what other businesses, family and friends are doing.

So the next time you see yourself seeking validation or wanting to fit in, remember…  

• Find your happiness

• Don’t compare yourself to others

• Be who you are, not who you think you should be

• Don’t follow a trend if it doesn’t feel right. Following this trend may have a tendency for you to move away from your true authentic path

• Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are someone else

• Look at yourself and see where you can be more authentic

• Stop worrying about what others think of you

• Go with your gut

So enjoy the moment, stop putting so much pressure on yourself and just be you.

On that note, “never sell you authenticity for someone else’s approval” – Brene Brown
