Settle for Less Numbers

We are bombarded with numbers. From our weight to our credit score, someone or something is always trying to assign us a number. It's easy to get caught up in the value of a number. When that happens to me, I start to believe my worth and happiness are tied to the number.

If only I had a higher number or a lower number (depending on scoring) I'd be happy. Personally the pursuit of any number leaves me miserable. Even if I achieve the goal number, I'm seldom happy. The pursuit of the number usually makes me miss things I otherwise wanted to do. Plus cramming, whether it's studying or exercise, seldom leads to longterm success.

For today realize you are more than any number. No number, not even your net income, defines you. Settle for less numbers so you can focus on being your true self rather than some score that others assigned meaning to.
