Comparison is a thief

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”-Theodore Roosevelt

I have read in a few different places lately about the perils of comparison. In fact, I wrote about it in my book as well.

We all tend to compare ourselves to others, and most of the time, the aim of that comparison isn’t to lift our spirits higher. We compare ourselves to those we perceive to be better, smarter, more together, etc than we are.

There is absolutely no benefit to this sabotage.

The only person we should compare ourselves to is who we were yesterday, or who we want to become.

So today, when you notice comparison, stop. Breathe. Take some time to compare you to you :-).

Because let’s face it, we will never be 4 collars cool and should just stop trying to compare with dat dude 😉

Ask yourself the right questions :-)

“But it’s not the external voice that will break you down. It’s what you tell yourself that matters…we are all our own worst haters and doubters because doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better.”-David Groggins

We don’t consciously berate ourselves, but it does happen quite passively. If we are not arming ourselves with positive self-talk, the negative voices run the roost. We need to arm ourselves. Ask yourself some questions in the morning: who needs my A game today? Why am I the best doctor/baker/flight attendant for those I get to serve? How do I show I am a compassionate person daily? The great thing about these questions is they beg a positive answer :-).

Get up and get after it music

Lay the groundwork

“You don’t have to know how it will come into your life, just lay the groundwork, follow leads, and prepare for its arrival.”-Madison Taylor

“If we find ways to experience our dreams right now, we make creating joy a treasure hunt in which the seeking is just as much fun as the finding.”

Thank you for the inspiration today, Jessica!

INTENTION

service-1a
I love this inspirational message Jessica shared with us today. GIVE with giving in mind 🙂
Serve for service’s sake:)
“We are most helpful when our care comes without attachment to an outcome.
Since others can pick up on the underlying energetic intention of our care, we are therefore much more nurturing when we act according to a loving and caring purpose. Assisting others in this way today will allow you to serve from your heart, and you will find that the love you give will have greater power to heal others.”
