So Let’s Begin…

YOU VS YOU:  A MEDITATION TO LET GO OF COMPARISON AND BE YOUR BEST SELF MEDITATION SCRIPT

This is a story of triumph.  

A story of defeat.  

A story of will, mindset and lessons, 

That will leave you on your feet. 

PAUSE

This story is laced with pain.

Spotted with tenderness.

A story with tears, joy and all the things,

That expand self awareness. 

PAUSE

So gather ‘round and settle in, 

The storyteller speaks.

Listen closely and you’ll hear,

The wisdom that you seek. 

LONG PAUSE

She stepped up on the board,

Ready for the race.

She just knew that she would win,

Swim her way to first place. 

PAUSE

When the starting horn went off,

She dove in with confidence,

She felt so good in her body,

Yet the pressure was intense.

PAUSE

Her strokes were picture perfect,

She had a nice big lead,

But then she glanced to the right,

And it slowed down her fast speed. 

PAUSE

The doubting thoughts of comparison,

Ran through her as she saw,

The other swimmers around her,

She quickly saw all her flaws. 

PAUSE

But just as soon as doubt arrived,

New thoughts seeped right in.

She realized her only competition,

Were all those thoughts within. 

PAUSE

So she fixed her gaze straight ahead,

And called upon her best. 

She breathed out all those doubting thoughts,

And focused on her own quest. 

PAUSE

And when she touched the wall,

She knew that she had won. 

‘Cause when she’s at her best,

Competition is so much fun. 

LONG PAUSE

I know that you’ve heard,

The noise all around, 

Your attention’s on everyone else.

You start to compare,

What’s yours and what’s theirs,

And soon you feel like you’re less. 

PAUSE

But bring yourself in,

Away from the noise,

Reminding yourself who you are. 

There’s no one like you,

In this whole universe,

You get to set your own bar. 

PAUSE

So glance at the others,

Then come back to you,

It’s you versus you in the end. 

How can you be,

Even better than before? 

How can you stretch and transcend? 

PAUSE

They all jumble up,

Inside of your mind, 

The thoughts you can choose to be true. 

So sift through them all,

And grab those that help,

Evolve you to the best version of you. 

PAUSE

This journey you’re on,

Is yours and yours alone,

Design it with intention and joy.

Let everyone else,

Just fade into gray,

This life is for you to enjoy. 

Namaste, Beautiful
