Growth & Gain over Gossip

It’s easy to gossip, sometimes…I’ll admit it, it’s even fun. After a while…..gossiping becomes poison. We start to become ruined by the fuel that we are adding to the fire that is simply burning down the people in our lives.

If we exchanged gossip, for encouraging the growth and gain in others, especially other woman.. imagine the beautiful world that we could  harness.

I recently listened to a Ted Talk by Tabatha Coffey (If you are a Bravo fan, you know and love her)  she talked about being known as a bitch on TV and what that meant to her, she discussed how we use the word so negatively to describe other woman when we are jealous of their success. That instead of saying “she got that job that I wanted, I should learn from her so that next time I am a stronger candidate.” We say “that bitch stole my job.” I’ve done it, have you?

I think we are all guilty, so what do we need to set in motion, how do we as adults begin to start over, begin to look at people with a growth mindset, to learn how to gain knowledge when we live in such a competitive society that seems to run on comparison.

Throw doubt, fear of failure, and the useless gossip out the window and  DO IT. GROW. GAIN. DITCH GOSSIP.  Immerse yourself in the love that it takes to celebrate and learn from someone successful.

It’s what I am doing right now, I have a female in my life that I totally look up to, I don’t think she has any idea of the impact that she has made for me in getting me out of the anxiety/depression spiral that I was in a few months ago. This woman is the very definition of a badass, writes a great blog, is an amazing mother, started a business, lives a love story with her husband and countless other things, I’m sure…. by the way, young and beautiful…. I know, annoying right? That’s what I thought. I thought, she’s doing what I want to do and I don’t even have HALF the stuff going on that she does. So, I had two options, call her a bitch and let her success annoy me…. OR get off my ass and make things happen, learn from her and let her inspire me. So, I’m doing it, here I am writing the thoughts down that I’ve wanted to for so long. (I am also putting together a really cool project that I can hopefully tell you all about soon.)

I hope that you will join me, continuing reading whatever this blog becomes, I want it to be a place where I share my battles with anxiety and depression but also word vomit some motivation, inspiration, and hopefully a lot of love.

Thank you for reading,
