Come on, let's be honest here. WE often compare ourselves to others. Men don't do it as often as women but there is a lot of comparing going on in the world. We always strive to look different or we dream about having the perfect body or even try to dress like someone else or even look like them. Many people have plastic surgery to change their bodies to look more perfect.
Why do we want to be like others?
I honestly wonder who it was that decided what a perfect man or women look like. Do you realize how boring life would be if we all looked the same, or even did the same things or for that matter all have the same interests?
Life turned into a comparison game, where people compare their looks, and even sometimes their body parts.
Well, basically we compare everything!
We often look at the lives of others and think, what if I can do the same? Alternatively, we look at someone and think...I never want to look like that! Is that not judging someone? The sad fact of the matter is that we all do it. Who of you have ever looked at a picture of someone and thought....I wish I can look like that!
We all strive to perfection. We are never satisfied with what we have and we always try and change. I am not saying that trying to improve yourself is wrong, on the contrary....we have to better ourselves, and we have to strive towards better things, but to be like someone else is not a way of improving ourselves.
If you try to be like someone else, how is that improvement?
Individuality will be thrown out of the window, uniqueness will be kicked in the butt.
We should all just make peace with the fact that we were all born differently. Everybody is not equal, and everyone is in their own way an example to others. To compare yourself to others is time consuming and it drains your energy!
How can we change this behavior of constant comparing?
Except yourself for who you are!
Don't try and change yourself. Be who you are. We were all created with some skills and none of us are supposed to be like someone else.
Create your own route to follow!
We are all destined for something and we are all here for a reason. Find your path to follow. We all have our own destination to reach so why try and reach someone else's destination? We all have dreams and goals. Follow YOUR dreams and achieve YOUR own goals.
You can't reach someone else"s goals....that will not make you happy.
Strive towards happiness
Do what you have to do to be happy! If you strive to look like someone else, will that make you happy? My friend wanted to lose weight. She tried everything, and eventually went for a gastric bypass. She lost all the weight, and guess what...she is still not happy!
Appreciate what you have!
Be grateful for what you have in life. There are many less fortunate people that possibly strive to be just like you! Ever thought about that??? Your children might see you as an example and they want to be just like you....
Change your attitude towards life!
Be the best you can be with what you have. Make the most with what you've got. Get to know yourself. Use what you have to change yourself into the person you should be. If you want to lose weight, then do so, if you want a facelift or a new nose, do that, but do it because you want it, not because you want someone else's nose!
Humans were not created equal. We have various colors, sizes, shapes, and even have different levels of intelligence. We are all UNIQUE.
Life is a process. Sometimes we are not happy, and difficult things cross our paths, but life is just life. Take it one day at a time and BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE FOR YOU!
Be incomparable!!!
In the end, it does not matter if you were rich or poor, ugly or beautiful, fat or thin....we all go into the same grave.
