Because you are a master at maintaining that machine, you keep your eye pressed to the scope and constantly at the ready for the next target to hit.

But what’s necessary in order for you to live?

Your focus on the Survival Checklist can cause tunnel vision, blacking out the aspects of life that make your soul soar.

You think you must collect reasons for why you deserve an experience that is only for you.

And the list better be a long one before you’ve earned anything from the Wishlist!

The list of reasons you haven’t earned the Wishlist may look a bit like this…

Your Superpower is most likely something that you’ve been good at for so long that you’ve lost sight of just how good you’ve gotten, let alone how long it took you to perfect your skill. When your Superpower comes as naturally as walking to you, it’s so easy to shrug it off as no big deal.

Trusting your own judgment and intuition is something that should come so very naturally; and yet it is a muscle that has all but atrophied with every “be nice”, “be quiet”, “be good” that inundated you since you were a little girl.

The reason we don’t love those little superficial parts of ourselves is because we expect them to look a different way; a way that we’ve been told they are “supposed” to look based off of Cosmopolitan covers and Snapchat filters. We assume that if those body parts did look different, we could love them.
