Live Well: Stop Comparing Yourself To Others



Fact: Some women are, by nature, very jealous.

Clear your mind of toxic baggage. It's common for women to have that feeling of jealousy when they look at others who are prettier, thinner, taller, smarter, younger or older and those who have better status in life. You can decide to be different and never fit into that defeating attitude. Eliminate that feeling of inadequacy and inferiority against other women. Stand tall, they say. Yet you do not have to wipe out everyone off your way in order to achieve that.

Comparing with others is a game that will drive you to a dead end. There's no winning over that game, because others will definitely have strengths that you lack. How about appreciating what's in your keeping? Count your blessings and be grateful for what you have. That attitude will help you get past through feelings of being jealous. You can absolutely stand tall, and be a victor.

Insecurity Is Toxic!

It is indeed. Not only for the person afflicted with it but it is also, and without a doubt, toxic for others as well. I have encountered many women who become so hard to deal with, because of their insecurity. They are loud, vulgar, and suspicious. They scratch, they nag, they whine, and they resort to passive-aggressive behavior. They will try to ruin the mood of people who they perceive as strong. Much as they want to drag people down, they cannot really make themselves confident by putting down the confident.

Many find it very difficult to adjust with a person with low esteem of herself. For someone not that fond of small talk and buttering up, it's really an ordeal to handle a person well so that she doesn't break down. You'd feel like walking on eggshells everytime you encounter that type of person. In deciding to take the higher ground, you must act in a respectable manner, while striving to understand the weaker fellow.

Ego, You Are Culprit

It's a funny thing to realize that those who are most touchy are people who are egoistic. Only the courageous woman can choose to get out of her way and esteem others well. Those who are fearful will be prickly and painful to others because they do not want criticism to come their way. But it's the surest way to earn the scorn of people-- being touchy, egoistic, cruel and indifferent.

It takes a belief in oneself to be able to become comfortable dealing with others. When you fail to appreciate yourself, you will certainly feel small. If you can see what is good in the other person, perhaps, you can also train yourself to love the person you are. Quit being a sinister sister.

A Tranquil Heart Sees No Mischief In Others

Live simply, and live with good eye towards others. That will stop you from having that bitter feeling. Tranquility of spirit gives you that radiance that you may have seen in another.

The good life is not a competition; it is a personal journey towards finding peace and contentment without sacrificing other people.
