That biker is speeding way too fast. Why is that woman dressed so flashy? Why is that child so mischievous? Why is that man wearing such strange shoes? Why is that building painted such an odd color? We often find ourselves judging everything and everyone around us, and these constant opinions can leave us feeling anxious, frustrated, and exhausted.

But pause for a moment—there are countless things about ourselves that deserve our attention and growth. Yet, we spend so much energy fixating on what others do or don’t do, which ultimately isn’t our concern. We get caught up in scrutinizing how others look, speak, or behave, but does that truly impact our lives? Meanwhile, we neglect the more important work of understanding and improving ourselves – our own fears, habits, and challenges. Why do I skip my morning meditation? Why am I quick to anger? Why can’t I control my words?

Every day presents a challenge—an exam of how we respond to life’s demands. The true test is in how we grow and evolve with each passing day. Life isn’t about them; it’s about you. So instead of focusing outward, turn inward, focusing on your own journey and growth. It’s time to start taking selfies.

How might your life change if you started “taking selfies” — focusing on yourself — every day?
