Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
You are doing better than you think 

You are doing better than you think

We are so much harder on ourselves than anyone else could ever be. Why is that? You could be doing everything right, showing up, adjusting, trying again and still feel like it’s not enough. You know why? It’s because we rarely measure progress accurately when it’s our own. We’re just too close to it. All we see are the delays, the messes, how “the others are doing better” and the doubts. We are comparing ourselves to where we thought we would be, or to someone else who looks like they have figured it all out. And in that gap is where you forget just how far you have come.
