The ”What About Me” Mentality

On this episode, Justin, Nathan and Cesar discuss the what about me mentality and how it affects everyday life.
We can get into those seasons where we start to compare where we might not be to other people's lives and comparison is the sucker of all gratitude. It creates unwarranted resentments which is like poison for the soul and our spiritual growth. We talk about getting into that victim mentality and we shed light on the underlying thought patterns and behaviors that can keep us stuck in a cycle of self pity and powerlessness. We need to seek to uncover the detrimental effects of this mindset on our overall well-being and relationships. Join us as we jump into this topic.
