Dear Friends,
Spend 5 min. of your valuable time to read this...
maybe we should compare more with ourselves instead of others?
STOP COMPARING
We live in pathologically dissatisfied world and I'm going to
tell you why... Because we love to compare!!
Go around the world and you will discover that people aren't
happy with their bodies... such as,
Filipinos want to have fair complexion like Westerners, and
so they buy bleaching stuff.
Westerners want to own bronzed bodies like ours, and so
they purchase tanning lotions.
Those with moles have them removed,while those who don't
strategically implant beauty spots.
Some people want to shed a few pounds to look like Ally McBeal,
while Others want to gain some baby fat to look like Drew Barymore.
When are we ever going to stop and simply be happy with how we look?
We live in a sick world, I tell you.
And that sickness is comparisonitis.
Then take a look at wealth
When we drive our old Honda, it really suits us fine.
We feel blessed in fact when the rain pours outside
We feel snug and cozy on its faded upholstered seats.
But the moment we see our own office mate
(or neighbor, or buddy, or cousin, or brother)
drives his sleek sky-blue, four-door, four-wheel-drive Mercedez,
we automically feel like third-class children of God.
Next time we drive our bumpy, noisy, rusted, dilapidated Honda,
(notice how all the defects pop out all of a sudden?)
we feel deprived, dispossessed, pariah, debased,
and only a little higher than the insects of the earth.
Listen carefully,
Bill Gates total assets are worth $60 billion.
That's more than the GNP of some small countries.
Tiger Woods earns $80 million simply by smiling on TV in a Nike shirt.
And the stars of the sitcom "Friends" are paid $750,00 per episode!
My point ?
No matter how hard you work,
there'll still be some people who will be richer than you are.
And there'll be some people who will be more beautiful, less worries,
have more sex appeal, have more boyfriends, have more problems.
Try it for once: "Stop looking around. Don't compare with others!"
Don't compare her nose with your nose
Don't compare his wife with your wife
Don't compare her breast size with your breast size
Don't compare her kids report card with your kids report card
Don't compare his prayer group with your prayer group.
Don't compare her cellulite deposits with your cellulite deposits.
For crying out loud, "Stop comparing and Start Living !!!"
And you'll be happier with your life, I guarantee
This is crucial to us:
The most difficult thing in the world is to be who you are not.
Pretending and trying to be someone else is the official pastime of
the human race
(I don't think dogs and cats and cows and horses have this problem)
And the easiest thing in the world is to be yourself...
Be happy. Live !!
There must be a reason why God made you tall or short or fat or thin or
bumby all over.
Love who you are !!
Being happy, it's not that difficult. Think about it... its true.
How Man is so blinded by so many things.
Stop *sighing* and start LIVING!
