"I Just Don't Have Time"

I'm Too Busy!

“Don’t compare

your chapter one

to someone else’s

chapter twenty”

Each and every one of us

is

Unique and special.

We all have our own

Beautiful Qualities

and this is why

we should never

compare ourselves to other people.

Distinctive

is such an unusual word

but quite relevant.

The word means

‘the characteristics of one person

which distinguishes

him or her from others’.

Or it is

a Special ‘Feature’

that someone has.

The trouble we have

is that the media expects us

to ‘conform’ to certain ways or standards,

and this is ‘how’

we can start comparing our lives

to that of other peoples lives.

It is Important

that we each take

our own journey

of Self-Discovery.

We don’t know

why our friend is on chapter twenty,

but then he or she does not know

why we are on chapter one.

True,

we can ‘Learn’ from others,

seeing how they got through

a certain problem or situation.

But we should

never compare

our lives to theirs.

For one thing,

there may be nothing in common

between you and that other person,

so then

there would be no ‘reference’.

But let’s keep this ‘light’.

We find Joy

in our own Victories,

especially when we are

Grateful

for certain ‘things’ and ‘people’

that we have in our own lives.

When we are Busy

in a Positive way

in our own Lives,

we do not have time

to compare ourselves to others.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
