Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap: Embrace Your Authentic Self

You Vs You: The Only Comparison That Matters.

Have you ever found yourself comparing you with others? So many people do this; I know I have done that in the past. If we care to admit it, we’ve all compared ourselves with someone else at some time or another. The truth is that comparison kills our spirit and destroys our soul. We end up chasing somebody else’s life; rather than follow our own unique path.

Take social media for instance. We get drawn into absorbing other people’s lifestyles and comparing ourselves with everything we see. From body image and relationships to holiday destinations and clothing – we’re always affirming to ourselves that our life ‘isn’t good enough’, so we need to strive for more to enable us to reach what others have reached.

I’m here to let you know that those people you’re comparing yourself to have come with a different life plan than yours. It’s not necessarily that you’re doing something wrong; that you’re not achieving your goals; or that you’re not on the right path.

The fact is we’re all very different, we all have our own special gifts and talents. When we look at the soul purpose of what we’re here for, you may find that one person has amazing relationships while another person is still working through their relationship issues.

You really need to look at what is going right in your life. Start looking inwards because whilst you’re looking outwards and comparing yourself with other people, you’ll never feel satisfied and happy. Instead, you’ll find it very difficult to live presently because too much of your time is spent continually pushing, chasing, and fighting.

I urge you today to take a look at your life, look inwardly at yourself and start to accept who YOU truly are. The moment you do that, everything seems magical!

At the end of the day, your life is about what you want and desire; not somebody else’s agenda.

From today, realise that you don’t need to compare yourself to anybody. If you must compare, then compare yourself only with the person you were yesterday – and continue working to become a better version of yourself. This way, you’ll constantly keep improving yourself on your own terms.

You are unique.

You have your own special gifts and talents.

You were never meant to live someone else’s life.

Accept who you are, love who you are. If loving who you are right now seems like a stretch, then at least learn to accept who you are and forgive yourself… forgiving yourself for comparing yourself to others.

With love and light,
