Think before you Compare Yourself To Others:Love Yourself

Before you go out there saying “Damn I wished i looked like …..” consider this:

You are unique, remember that. There is no one else like you!! Acknowledge what it is that makes you special and unique. Do Not compare yourself to others!

It is Normal to want to see how we measure up in comparison to others – especially if we think that they are better than us (for some reason) or have more of something that we want. There is no reason to do this because no one is like us, we are all so unique and different in our own ways. This is something to remember, as we step on stage or undergo a show prep. We tend to compare ourselves to others but we can’t. Especially when it comes to physiques, metabolisms, etc. there is no way to compare ourselves! We are are all so different and come in so many different shapes and sizes. It is sometimes almost easier to look outside of ourselves and feel like we are deficient in comparison to other people rather than seeing how we are uniquely different and special in out own ways! It actually takes more courage to be self-referential and look at ourselves to see whether we are measuring up to our standards or meeting our full potential.

Each of us has very special gifts, and we are here for very specific reasons. We each have a life purpose to fulfill and with this come the lessons that we must learn and the circumstances that we must go through in order to evolve as spiritual beings. To compare our lives to other people’s lives when we have no idea of what they are here to learn or fulfill doesn’t benefit anyone – especially you.

Instead, if we can accept ourselves, appreciate the special talents and qualities that we alone possess, and realize that each of us is going through certain kinds of experiences for a reason, we are less likely focus so much on what other people have or are doing. Realizing and valuing our uniqueness enables us to bring out the best in ourselves so we can get on with living rather than preoccupying ourselves with meaningless comparisons. Try to not compare yourself to others, and you will see how much you have and how special you are.
