Comparison. They say comparison is the "thief of joy." Why is it in knowing this I still allow comparison to take the wind out of my sails? Why is it so easy to look at how someone else does something and automatically think that it is so much better? Why is it necessary to compare in the first place? Don Miguel Ruiz in The Four Agreements teaches not to take anything personally; good or bad. In allowing yourself to judge your life based on the opinions of others you rob yourself of the sheer value of you. Each of us is unique. Each of us not only has our own fingerprint, but we have our own unique life print as well. Our DNA, our physical appearance, our gifts, talents, and abilities are uniquely our own. We do not need to compare. Allow the joy of you not to be diminished through comparison.
