How Do You Measure Up?

by Tyler Patfield
Mar 15, 2025

Dear Subscriber,

We hope this newsletter finds you well. Today, we want to talk about something that we all grapple with - self-worth. What is it? In our view, it's how we perceive ourselves, both internally and externally within society. Interestingly, this perception often comes with a sense of measurement, where we compare ourselves internally to the society around us externally.

However, if you manage to disassociate from the collective society, you'll soon realize that trying to measure up to collective expectations or a non-existent belief system is an impossible task. 

When we undertake any healing work within ourselves, we impact our lineage seven generations forward, and seven generations backward. This concept, known as the laws of resonation, is truly fascinating. Another thought to ponder is that what others think of you is none of your business.

When you disassociate from societal expectations, ask yourself - how many of these expectations truly come from you? What do you think about your life?

Consider all that you've achieved, all that you're doing, and all that you aspire to do. Reflect on the simple, often unnoticed actions that positively impact others, like holding a door open or wishing someone a good day. These small acts of kindness can brighten someone's day and set a positive tone for their day ahead.

Remember, you come from a place that only you can come from. You are unique, and you shine in your own special way. When you stop trying to measure up to collective expectations, your self-worth takes on a different appearance. 

See all you've done, all you're doing, and all you're going to do. Recognize the kindness and the unique shine that can only come from you. Allow it to move through others, enabling them to do the same, and shine that forward to others.

So, how do you measure up? In our opinion, there is no measurement. There is just life and how you live it. Enjoy your day,enjoy your week, and enjoy your life. 

For more on this topic, we invite you to listen to our podcast, "I Never Thought I'd Be Here" Episode 13: How Do You Measure Up? Available on Spotify and Kajabi. 

Stay tuned for more insightful discussions.

Best Regards,
Tyler Life Coaching Team

A Path Forward
Notes From The Coach: A Path Forward For Real Life Lately I’ve been having a lot of conversations with people who feel like they’ve drifted away from themselves. On paper, life looks “fine.”  But underneath, there’s this quiet sense of being off: - Saying yes when you want to say no  - Overthinking every decision  - Feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions  - Moving through routines and...

Life can seem very overwhelming  we ask ourselves questions all the time like am I doing this right? Will this work out? Will things be OK? Will I be OK? It’s very common to ask these questions. You’re probably think...
What Is Your ROI or Your ROT?
We often talk about ROI — the return on investment — in financial terms. We measure what we put in against what we get back. But what if we measured something far more personal? Something that speaks not to dollars, but to days… not to profit, but to presence? That’s where ROT — your Return on Time — comes in. Have you ever stopped to think about it?Where do you invest your time? What kind of r...
