Never Compare

By:  April Rohde

It is so easy to compare our lives to others.  Others might have this and that, things we long for.  But life is a very personal experience, we have each created a path that will enhance who we are.  The quicker we look at our own lives, look within, we will be open to the gifts and experiences that bring us to full fulfillment.

Stay focused, be aware of your thoughts about the experiences and relationships in your life.  They are all there to teach, to reveal things about us that we need to look at.  Growth is what this life is all about, everything that is obtained here is never lost, we take it with us.  Even at times when you feel like you have made much growth and suddenly feel lost, do not worry that the growth you made has somehow faded, it is still very much a part of you.  Every feeling you feel is asking you go to within, look at it.  By looking at our emotions, anger, grief, and stress, we will begin to see a pattern, things we may have to change.  If you keep doing the same things over and over, you will keep getting the same results.  Some people question, "Why can't I sleep, why am I so stressed"  Sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to get new results.

Many times we do not like to look within, it requires great work and deep truths.  Some might be painful, sad and even reveal a weakness or fear we may have.  Those are things we must look at and free in order to move past them, if we don't, they lie inside affecting everyday of our lives.  It is like a splinter in your finger, that you can always feel, but you can't get to.

Be aware of your life, your gifts and passions.  Lift your head high and face the world.  Remember that whatever comes into your life, you are capable of handling.  You can deal with any situation that is happening in the now.  What we can't deal with is the worrying about the past, something that is over and done, or fears of the future and what the mind is projecting in a time that has not even happened.  Smile and know that when you are presented with a situation, you are capable of facing it head on and doing the best you can in the moment you are doing it!

Quote by Eileen Caddy:

"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."
