Do you compare yourself with others? Do you believe; If I only had what they did, I would be so happy. Do you think everyone else is better than you? Do you believe; If my spouse were like that, if my children were like that, if I saw myself like that, if I had his job, if I had his money, and the list goes on and on. It’s time to have confidence in yourself!
It’s very easy to get caught up in life’s what-ifs and ifs. We look at everyone else and think they have it much better than we do. We look at their circumstances, situations and life and we think they have it much better than we do. We can even get jealous of someone else’s life. This is a dangerous place to be. We have to have confidence in who we are. We have to be comfortable in our own situation.
There are things you may need to change to improve your life and I highly recommend that you make personal growth changes. However, that does not mean that we try to live someone’s life. You have your own path to walk. It won’t look like everyone else’s; just like everyone else’s it doesn’t look like yours. Trust in your abilities, your gift and your talent. Don’t envy anyone else. You can appreciate what they have, but never envy them.
Never allow jealousy to enter your mind. Know who you are today! Trust who you are today! You don’t need to have everyone’s approval, but you also shouldn’t let their non-approval get you down. Be who you were created to be. God has given you just what you need to be the most wonderful person you can be. You have His stamp of approval on you. I approve of you too! Now you need to approve it! Make today the best day of your life!
