Thoughtful Thursday & There is No Wagon

ON THE BLOG

THERE IS NO WAGON

This week on the Seasons of Joy Podcast, I talk about the saying, “I have fallen off the wagon.”

You probably have even said it yourself when you have slipped in a behavior you want to change.

I know I have.

But I want you to listen carefully.

There is NO wagon.

The idea that we have “fallen off the wagon” reinforces the idea that we are not doing enough or being enough or that there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed.

Holding on to the false belief that perfection is even possible. 

Because if we were capable enough, smart enough or good enough we should be able to stay “on the wagon," right?

Wrong.

The truth is, it doesn’t somehow make us more valuable or more worthy than we already are if we reach our desired outcomes perfectly.

Our goals set the direction we face and then invite opportunities for us to experience growth, learning and becoming along our journey. 

You could never set a goal and be more worthy, valuable, and amazing then you are right now.

Staying on some imaginary wagon does not define you. 

There is no wagon.

There is only life.
