STOP Comparing
We live in a pathologically dissatisfied world. And I'm going to tell
you why. Because we love to compare. Go around the world and discover
that people aren't happy with their bodies.
Asians want to be fair-complexioned like Westerners, and so buy
bleaching stuff. Westerners want to own bronzed bodies like ours, and
so purchase tanning lotions.
Those with moles have them removed, while those who don't
strategically implant beauty spots.
Some people want to shed a few pounds to look like Ally McBeal, while
others want to gain some baby fat to look like Drew Barrymore.
When are we ever going to stop and simply be happy with how we look?
We live in a sick world. I tell you. And that sickness is
comparisonitis. Take a look at wealth. When we drive our old Toyota ,
it really suits us fine. We feel blessed in fact when the rain pours
outside and we feel snug and cozy on its faded upholstered seats.
But the moment we see our own officemate (or neighbor, or buddy, or
cousin, or brother) drive his sleek sky-blue, four-door,
four-wheel-drive Rav4, we automatically feel like third class children
of God.
Next time we drive our bumpy, noisy, rusted, dilapidated Toyota
(notice how all the defects come out all of a sudden?), we feel
deprived,
dispossessed, pariah, debased, and only a little higher than the
insects of the earth.
Listen carefully. Bill Gates' total assets are worth $60 billion.
That's more than the GNP of some small countries. Tiger Woods earns
$80 million simply by smiling on TV in a Nike shirt. And the stars of
the sitcom Friends are paid $50,000 per episode! My point? No matter
how hard you work, there'll still be some people who will be richer
than you are.
And there'll be some people who will be more beautiful, have more sex
appeal, have more boyfriends/girlfrie nds, and have more problems.
Try it for once. Stop looking around. Don't compare!
Don't compare her nose with your nose.
Don't compare his wife with your wife.
Don't compare his salary with your salary.
Don't compare her breast size with your breast size.
Don't compare her kid's report card with your kid's report card.
Don't compare his prayer group with your prayer group.
Don't compare her/his cellulite deposits with your cellulite
deposits.
Stop comparing and start living and you'll be happier with your life.
This is crucial: The most difficult thing in the world is to be who
you are not. Pretending and trying to be someone else is the official
pastime of the human race. (I don't think dogs and cats and cows and
horses have this problem).
And the easiest thing in the world is to be yourself.
Be happy. Live!
There must be a reason why God made you tall or short or fat or thin
or bumpy all over.
Love who you are!
STOP INHALE..ONLY EXHALE!!!!!

I am sure your intentions are good but not crediting the original author may amount to plagiarism. In any case all your posts are wonderful, keep writing.
I received this beautiful e-mail written by Bo Sanchez and wanted to share to everyone just what I did..
I did not mention the name of the author for the sole intention that if anybody disagree with the post, it will be with my responsibility.
My apology...
Angel eyes I found the same post as a blog of Bo Sachez at http://tinyurl.com/4m9s7m
Are you Bo Sachez? If not I guess She needs to be credited for the post.
you should compare, the moment you loose ambition and decide what you are right now is right, its the moment you loose the drive and the edge you have over others, and its the moment you stand still, and standing still in a fast pace world is the same as going back...so yes, do compare yourself to others, yes, do think why is he or she is better than me, and have a plan of action on what you can do to be better....
yep stop comparing..The grass isnt always greener on the other side..
We have to feel good and confident about ourselves in order for us to face people in equality!
Engel eyes i just want to thank you for your open minded letter that made me feel good abot myself again just by reading it and what you said are so very very true.
Thank again
A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital while on the operating table she had a near death experience.
Seeing God she asked 'Is my time up?'
God said, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.'
Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change her hair color and whiten her teeth!
Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.
While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?'
(You'll love this)
- God replied: 'I didn't recognize you.'
My eyes shows the REAL ME...no pretentions and very transparent ;D

U just ned to put more than 100% faith in God coz it will end up finding no more..cheers with your own blessings
your eyes are like angel_eyes!

Comparing moves things forward, causes improvement and evolution. It's our nature. Without been comparing we would be seating still on the branch, eating banana, looking nowhere and filling very happy to do so.
Very True, but I would have been a lot more happy if you had not just done a copy paste, and even without crediting the Author. That is called Stealing !!
This was actually written by Bo Sanchez and it's called stop comparing
I agree with you , apart from two..
Firstly.. It is OK to compare Breast sizes..
secondly .. Men don't have cellulite.. We're muscled adonises..
true.. one is never happy with what he/she has...
Thats the nature of a human kind--
we are built this way--dont you think sometimes why this things happen?--
well, life is full of mistery.
no one knows only god--
:)
Raffy
Inspiring ...LOL
Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did. And is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!
I do agree,
Live simply and peacefully.
People have no self-satisfaction. If only, people will learn to love the way they are and be contented on the way they live, the world would be a better place. :)
