Accept YOU

For Who YOU Are

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Live your life YOUR way

“If the grass looks greener

on the other side

-----

Stop staring.

Stop comparing.

Stop complaining

and start watering the grass you’re standing on”

If we’re really concentrating on our own Lives

-----

we’ll be too busy

to look at anything or anyone else anyway.

Social media can become a negative trap

because it ‘encourages’ us

to compare ourselves and our lives

with what ‘it’ would call

‘the perfect life’.

But in actual fact,

when we actually “look” at our own lives,

we realize

that we have something

Better than that ‘perfect life’.

We have what

WE want

in our Lives.

This is where

Daily Gratitude

really plays its part.

We become Happy

with the things that we have “now”.

“Start watering the grass

you’re standing on”.

Instead of looking everywhere else,

look at your Own Life

and see where You can Improve.

Set goals

that you can reach

and when you do reach them,

reward yourself with a little gift or treat.

This will Help you to

Accept YOU for who YOU are!

It will also help you (and me)

to stop complaining,

which has such a negative effect

on our minds.

Look after ‘your own piece of land’,

in other words,

your own Life

because it is

more Beautiful than any ‘perfect life’.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
