I'm going on 21 hours of no sleep (sick babies will keep you up) and I've been doing a lot of thinking. Now, whether such thoughts are coherent to you dear readers I cannot say, but nevertheless I thought I'd share them with you.
Here's a quick question:
How many times a day do you comapre yourself to others around you? Whether it be materialistic items you lack, issues with body image, relationships or a plethora of other things, how many times do you stop and consider yourself to be something inferior or lacking?
I know that I do that.
In fact I just did that a few minutes ago and as a result this post popped in my head.
I realized as I noted my thoughts straying towards comparing myself to others that I am not who I compare myself to. That person I see has not been through what I've been through. That person has not experienced my life and therefore cannot understand the changes I've gone through.
So you see it's rather unfair of us to compare ourselves to other people because we're all different and as such we all experience different things and react in different ways. We cannot and should not take our limited scope on the world and subscribe our personalities, body image, etc. to a single defined mould. Instead, we need to understand our differences, limitations and obstacles that hinder us and embrace who we are (flaws and all) and work towards being our best selves and not someone else.
Does that make sense?
