Sometimes life throws us something we aren’t expecting- a loss, an injury.

Sometimes we invite a change into our lives with a move, new relationship, new goal or dream.  

When we find ourselves in this position, sometimes there’s a pull toward comparison with other people. A tendency to compare our inside feelings with an outside appearance, especially when we feel out of control, insecure and overwhelmed.  We may then begin to think that “we are missing something that others have”, “that we aren’t enough”, that we need the ‘golden ticket ‘ in order to feel at peace or at least marginally comfortable again.

Actually we have the golden ticket inside us already.
