This is amazing sir @ericvancewalton. I really love this. Appreciating what we have breaks us free from the comparison trap. I joined a 62-day challenge to appreciate everyone and things about me. It helps a huge lot because it makes me know I am doing better than yesterday.
The truth is, most people we compare ourselves too have their struggles too. We should always seek encouragement from the inside. I love this:
Comparison with myself brings improvement, comparison with others brings discontent.” ― Betty Jamie Chung
We should look inward and be our own motivator. Every one has a clear defined path. Our paths are different, so is our struggles. Low self esteem comes as a result of comparison with others and it messes up with our heads, which now restricts us from reaching our full potentials.
Thank you so much for this sir. A timely eye opener. I always enjoy your posts. So much to learn every time.
Thank you @olawalium! You're right, gratitude is so very important in life. There's nothing quite like the feeling of happiness that comes over you when you acknowledge that you're truly satisfied with a certain part of your life.
So many of the "self help gurus" of today keep us locked in a perpetual cycle of believing
we're incomplete, that we need to do more and be more but this isn't always the case...it certainly does keep people coming back to their seminars and buying their books and courses.
The universe works in subtle and sometimes mysterious ways, at times declaring, "I have everything I need" opens up the door to untold gifts. I'm glad you got something out of this post my friend.
You have so much depth. You are absolutely right with this sir. Really spot on. They make us feel incomplete to satisfy their own cravings.
I always enjoy reading from you. I don't come back the same hahaha. Thanks a lot sir
Thank you so much, man. I really appreciate your kind words.
Such a great honour sir. Thank you so much for all you do sir.
