LIVE BY CHOICE NOT BY CHANCE!!!!

Its about something we all do but often don’t realize how much it affects us—comparison. You know, that sneaky habit of looking at someone else’s life, success, or even their breakfast and thinking, “Why isn’t my life like that?” It’s so common, but have you ever wondered why it feels so draining?

Here’s the thing: when we compare ourselves to others, we’re measuring our worth against someone else’s highlight reel. Think about social media. Nobody posts about their bad hair days, burnt toast, or the times they felt stuck. Yet, we scroll through all these “perfect” moments and start questioning our own journey. But here’s a little secret: everyone’s got their struggles—they’re just not always on display.

Now, don’t get me wrong. A little healthy comparison can inspire us. Maybe you see someone crushing it at work or running a marathon, and it sparks a fire in you to set new goals. That’s great! But the trouble starts when comparison turns into a constant mental battle, leaving us feeling like we’re not enough.

Joy doesn’t come from being better than someone else; it comes from being true to yourself. Imagine if you focused all that energy on your own progress instead of worrying about what others are doing. Celebrate your small wins. Remember that everyone’s timeline is different. Just because someone else seems to be ahead doesn’t mean you’re behind. Life isn’t a race; it’s a journey, and everyone’s path is unique.

Next time you catch yourself falling into the comparison trap, try this: pause and ask, “What am I grateful for right now?” Gratitude is like a reset button. It shifts your focus from what you think you lack to everything you already have.

So, let’s make a deal. Let’s stop letting comparison steal our joy. Let’s focus on our own path, celebrate our own growth, and remember that we’re all doing the best we can.

————————- just a little reminder that you’re doing great, just as you are. 😊
