It's Not Your Turn
What do you do when it seems like everybody else is getting their dreams and you're not?
You don't have to be distressed when Instagram comparison makes you feel like others are more successful than you. Heather Thompson Day shows us to what we can do to shape ourselves while waiting, so we are ready when it's our turn. She unpacks instant gratification and peer comparison in a social media world, and teaches how we can cultivate perspectives and practices that will enable us to be more content, patient, and constructive. We can learn to walk slowly and trust God to do his work in us, being more present in our relationships rather than striving for premature image-based success.
Your turn will come. Here's what you can do to get there.
"Heather Thompson Day writes in a way that sinks deep into your spirit. Her honest self-assessments help reveal the places where we all get caught up in jealousy, competition, and envy when it comes to the life God has given us in contrast to the life God has given others. A timely read for anyone struggling to move beyond comparison to a patient, nonanxious posture where we wait for the divine goodness of 'our turn.'"
"This book is wise, hilarious, vulnerable, practical, and utterly delightful. Heather winsomely unpacks insights from psychology, biology, her experience, and her faith to yank us from our visions of glory, prisons of despair, or tantrums of envy, and helps us take concrete steps to make life good and beautiful again. It's Not Your Turn is a wonderful book that serves up guidance and healing for the striving-yet-discouraged soul."
