Nice reminder. It is good to not become stagnant, but letting the "shoulds" take hold will actually hinder growth. I had to do a lot of work to find the source of those different voices.

Was it societal? Was it based on comparisons? Did I receive that message as a child and accept that that is how it ought to be?

Whatever the source, those lies were not helpful and needed to go.

Keep up the good fight!
