When I compare myself to others I get stuck in a revolving sibling rivalry contest where there is the illusion of winners and losers. Often I find myself on the loser end of things, believing others have more brains, beauty, opportunities, money, luck, happiness, talent, the list is endless and I rarely measure up. Occasionally, I am on the winner end, and begin thinking I’m ‘better than’ and slip into a narcissistic heaven filled with judgment and expectations. Clearly, there are times when competition motivates me to achieve and move forward, however, usually it ends up fostering envy, resentment, greed and discontent.
I choose today to focus on being and having enough.
My journey is unique and so is yours.
