Never Do This

Never Compare

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
"I'm telling you !!!"

"Don't compare

your chapter one

to someone else's

chapter twenty".

We have all done this,

especially at school:

"He / she is much better than me, with nicer clothes and neater handwriting or a happier family"

comparing our own lives to theirs.

This is a mistake!

For one thing,

behind clothes doors,

we don't know what they are going through

or how they are living,

but also ---

are they any happier?

They may be thinking the very same thing

about you / us.

So,

we should be thinking:

"I've got what I've got, I'm going to make the best of it!"

Every one of us is Beautiful,

Alive and

(hopefully) have Good Health.

The only one we should be looking

in the mirror at

is Ourselves!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
