We Love To cOmpaRe

We live in a dissatisfied world ! !

Tell you why. . .

Because we love to compare....

Go around the world and discover that people aren't happy with their bodies

. . . .

Filipinos want to be fair-complexioned like Westerners and so buy

bleaching stuff.

Westerners want to own bronzed bodies like ours and so 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

fat to look like Drew Barrymore.

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.



Take a look at wealth.....

When we drive our old car, it really suits us fine. We feel blessed

in fact when the rain

pours outside and 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)

drive his sleek, luxurious new car we automatically feel like

third-class children of God.

Next time we drive our bumpy, noisy, rusted, dilapidated car,

(notice how all the defects

come out all of a sudden?), we feel deprived, dispossessed.


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 $750,000 per episode!

The 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, have more

appeal and have more problems.

Try it for once. Stop looking around. Don't compare!

Don't compare her nose with your nose.

Don't compare his wife with your wife.

Don't compare his salary with your salary.

Don't compare her kid's report card with your kid's report card.

Stop comparing and Start living! And you'll be happier with your life, I

guarantee.

This is crucial:

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.

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

bumpy all over.

Love who you are! Be happy, it's not that difficult!



The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
