NEVER EVER COMPARE - Thursday, 8/6

Good Morning everyone!  Happy Thursday.  They say you can't compare apples and oranges and you really can't.  They are fruit but that's where the similarities end.  Dogs and cats are both animals but that is also the only similarity between the two.  Similar yet completely different.  So why do we compare?

When we make comparisons we are really saying what is better and turning our focus to what we would rather have.  We may look at someone with a big house and all of a sudden we no longer appreciate our own house.  We may see what appears to be a glamorous career and think how dull and boring it is to go to our jobs day after day.

The worst comparisons we make is when we compare ourselves to other people.  The only thing about us and someone else is that we are all people but oh how different we are!  Today's quote is, "If you must compare - compare yourself to who you used to be not anyone else."  

To date I've written almost two thousand quotes and even they cannot compare to each other.  This particular quote is not just a gem but a diamond.  Stop grabbing your love handles and looking at the model on the cover of Vogue.  You have nothing in common except that you are both people.

Each one of us is a unique being and a rough diamond.  It takes a lot of polishing before we shine.  Look at who you were ten years ago, five years ago, six months ago, last week and yesterday.  If you must compare then look at the person you were when you were trying to figure it out. 

Compare yourself to that person only and never ever to anyone else!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy
