You know you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Yet, that’s often easier said than done. And, the number of categories in which you and I can compare ourselves to others are infinite. So is the number of people we can compare ourselves to.

Today, it is time to recognize that comparing yourself to others is generally the fast track to unhappiness. It’s a recipe for misery and that all it does is keep you focused on what you don’t like about yourself and your life. Today, consciously stop comparing yourself to anyone. Begin by "watering" your own grass and stop wasting time comparing your path to someone else’s. Instead today spend it investing, creating, and caring for your own. Next, accept where you are right now. You can’t change something you don’t acknowledge. So, instead of resisting or fighting where you are, come to peace with it. Say yes to every part of your life, and from that place, make decisions that will move you in the right direction. And, one of the biggest sources of comparison is social media. I highly suggest that you take a social media break. Social media can be a great source for inspiration. But, if it triggers inadequacy, self-doubt, and frustration, then choose to do a detox. Make sure you control social media and not the other way around. Today, recognize that whenever you focus on what other people have that you don’t, you give away your power. Every minute spent on comparing your path to someone else’s is a minute lost on creating your own. So, today take back your power from all the people, places, and situations where you’ve left it and bring it back home. Decide that your energy will be used for believing, not doubting, and for creating, not destroying. Today focus on you. Focus on watering your grass and building your path. Focus on being the best that you can be and then share that with the world.

Just for today, I recognize that there is no competition or comparison for we are all different and were meant to be that way. I am special and I am wonderful. I know if I dwell on what I do not want, that is exactly what I will get more of. I accept my uniqueness. I am perfect exactly as I am and everything is always working out for my highest good.
