Count your Blessings

"Dont' compare yourself with others, If you want to compare yourself, compare yourself to your true potential"



Well I am not trying to preach - This was the quote that my daughter had to learn for recitation in the assembly, When she went over it again and again I started to wonder if she undrestood the real meaning and its so beautiful and true......



Think of the unhappiness that the the comparison with others brings, Whether it is size comparison, wealth, health , job, anything.............But why do we want to believe that what we have is any lesser than what the others have? Do we even count our blessings? we are always looking for what we don't have and in the process don't enjoy what we have. I am fat, but that is relative.....I know of many people thinner than me who have problems. I am average looking, but I know many great looking people who are as comfortable with their persona that I am......They are trapped in the images they try to create for themselves and then can't break out of it. I am outspoken and honest, not necessarily brash, but I am not afraid to speak my mind, I know of many people who get stressed because they are not honest. Why compare. You are a wonderful person as you are and dont have to be the same as everyone else......We are not clones so why try to be in comparison..............

There are great benefits in comparing yourself with your true potential. You can better every mile stone you achieve as life then becomes a journey where you are constantly seeking to better what you did last.....Can you imagine how good you can be. And we can actually rid the world of the mediocrity that we see all around as everyone would strive to better what they achieve rather than compete with others. The happiness of being and improving on that will be immense and the unhappiness of the comparison fades away into oblivion.....

Lets make a start and make this world a happier place for all of us and however busy you may be always remember to count your blessings......
