This is such a big problem nowadays. And it applies to people that we DO know! How awesome would it be if we spent more time embracing our own lives and tapping into our own gifts and potential instead of wishing we had more or were more? The reality is NO ONE has it all! Every “perfect” picture or story is anything but perfect. No one has it all together, no one has it all figured out. We all share one commonality as human beings on this earth: we are all flawed; we may not share the same flaws but we all struggle with something (and there is beauty in that struggle—but that’s for another post 😁). We are losing way too much time with the one shot in life that we’ve been given—getting caught up in relentless comparisons. The real introspective question we need to be asking is, “if I wasn’t bombarded with the daily ‘high reel’ would I even want that life? Would I even envy the millionth trip, purchase, experience that so and so had?” I think we lose ourselves in the comparisons—we get away from what we value, what our goals and dreams are, and we end up creating even bigger problems in our lives by changing ourselves into creatures we don’t even recognize anymore. We attach ourselves onto someone else’s spending habits, way of living, way of giving, way of loving, way of seeing the world, when in reality it’s not even really what we want or who truly we are! So the next post you see that makes you feel like crap about your own life, turn off your phone and start getting in touch with the beautiful imperfectly perfect life and person that you are! Because there is only one you; the world needs YOU, AND you’re a freakin rockstar ✌🏼
