So, I was chatting with my dear friend last week and we got to talking about COMPARING. Do you compare your life with anyone else? Do you try to become somebody you are not? Why do we do this? Do we REALLY KNOW inside the story of the person we want to become or be more like?? I find myself trying to BECOME someone that I am not. Now, I am not saying that I don't want to always try to GROW, LEARN, ACHIEVE and live for so much more, because I do believe God wants so much more for me and my family. I am saying that I try to live up to certain expectations of other people because I compare myself to what may seem to be a GOOD thing. When really that may be only how it appears. There is NO ONE made just like you, with the same personality as you or the same hair color or texture as yours. There is no one that has the same children that you do. They might have just as many as you, but all their personalities are different. They won't have the same husband, the same relationships, the same family upbringing, the same success. So, why can't we be the best we can be with what we have and LIVE OUR OWN LIVES wanting what works for US? Relying on GOD to help create in us the ultimate example of what he designed US to be as a mom, wife, friend, etc. God gave us all gifts and talents to be use for his GLORY.....
Find happiness in who you are, and JOY in what you do. Praise God for the blessings and not question why someone else has it better than you. Do they?? They might just want what you have.
