... and yet you’re not!
Have you ever found yourself dealing with a situation and thought that no-one else could possibly understand what you’re going through? If you have, you’re absolutely right – but you’re not alone!
Your situation may not be unique, but your particular set of circumstances is. You may take action based on advice from others who have been through similar experiences, yet your results come out differently. Your decisions are yours and yours alone, no-one else can make them for you.
We all have different ways of looking at things, usually based on past experiences, our personal belief system and values, and what we want from life. This mix is unique to each of us and is the reason no-one else can understand exactly what we’re going through.
And yet it can be useful to draw on the experiences of others, in fact we do it all the time. Everything from learning to drive a car (taking lessons from someone who already can), to cooking a meal (following a recipe someone has already tried), I think you get the idea!
When you’re facing a situation that is new to you, like giving a presentation to potential clients or training your new puppy, it can really help to learn from others who have been there and done it. Pick people you admire for the way they handle these situations, study what they do and do the same.
You are a unique individual, others love you for it, as you should love yourself. But you don’t have to ‘reinvent the wheel’ if someone else has already made it for you!
Find the best way for you and celebrate your uniqueness!
