Cindy Sostrong

This is Cindy Sostrong (names have been changed to protect the innocent) during one of our training sessions. We have a rule during our training sessions - No Self-Deprecating Comments. There are consequences for individuals who choose to break this rule. On this particular day, Cindy made the fatal mistake of saying she was weak. You see...she's not.

I relate to her - and so do you. We all do this. We view ourselves through cracked glasses. My butt is too big, my thighs are too wide, my belly is a pony keg, I'm not strong enough, I'm too strong. And the list goes on.

We look in the mirror and see the imperfection rather than perfection. Lie #13: I am less than... The lie that we don't measure up in some way.

THE TRUTH IS: each of us is made unique and in our individual uniqueness is perfection. There isn't a standard or a cookie cutter that allows you to match another. And yet, we insist on pressing our perfection against the cookie cutter. Stop pressing and start appreciating your greatness. Celebrate what makes you yummy - because you are.
