don't leave the good parts out (life is more than a highlight reel) ❤️

Published: Wed, 09/27/23

Hey, Amy here.

So many people online are only showing you their highlight reel... when you look around on YouTube and social media, what you are seeing is a carefully crafted and curated selection of their life.

They are usually not showing you the blood, sweat, tears, rejection, heartbreak, and the days when they get totally knocked down to their knees and don't know how to move forward....

...or the days when they feel like giving up altogether.

Nobody's life can be totally represented by their highlight reel., so don't waste time comparing yourself with the version of people that only shows the highlights.

One of the things we tend to do as humans is to compare ourselves to others.

This is a slippery slope for a lot of reasons... the main one being that the most important thing we can be is ourselves, and when we compare ourselves to others sometimes we feel like we have to behave like them or market like them or whatever.

We weren't born to be a cookie cutter version of someone else. That's not what our souls came here to be or to do.

And comparing yourself to some else's highlight reel is disempowering too, because it makes us feel like we are doing something wrong if we don't feel like we have it all together the way people make it look on social media.

So don't compare yourself to anyone's highlight reel.

And, I know I talk about this a lot but it's really okay to just be yourself and let people see things about your life that are not necessarily your highlight reel.

It's okay to take people behind the scenes...

It's okay to share the things that are not so glamorous about your life or our business- these are the things that make you relatable.

These are the good parts that bind us together.

It's actually easier to share when you look like you have it all together, to just put a happy face on, which is why everyone doesn't share the other stuff.

It takes courage to be open and vulnerable and not everyone is up for that.

Not everyone wants to be relatable- they would rather be seen as the guru on the mountaintop or the person that has it all together.

But I promise you, when you really share yourself in a vulnerable way, this is what inspires people.

You will be much more relatable when you do this... and you will inspire so many more people when you do this.

I hosted the Grow Rich mastermind this morning and I shared more on this topic.

I also shared some song lyrics about this that move me to tears every time... to help you understand the importance of this in a deeper level.

And we also read some pages from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

We had some amazing shares during the mastermind portion of the call as well by some super inspiring people.

For example, Tiffany said,

"When we know we're not alone, it allows us to heal."

A perfect example of why it's important to share the realness of yourself and your life and the impact it can have on others.

If you would like to hear the whole conversation, you can go here to listen to the replay from today's call if you like.

The replay will be up until the call goes live again tomorrow morning.

Enjoy and I hope it serves you as a reminder that things seem so much less intimidating to others when we allow ourselves to be real.

That's what we came here to do. That's what we came here to be. To be real. To be our own unique self. Unapologetically.

When you show up in this way, your message will be heard in a whole different way because people will feel like they really know you.

So don't compare yourself to anyone else's highlight reel, and don't be afraid to show things or talk about things that are not on your own highlight reel.

I love you, and please remember that I'm here to help, always.

With love and gratitude,

Amy
