Just Bloom

Finally a non-cleaning post.  I don't know about you, but I have a horrible habit of comparing myself and my life to other people. Sometimes it's things other people have, or the way other women look, or sometimes I want to just be better, prettier, funnier than other people because the happiest or prettiest or funniest seem to have it all. I know that's not true, but that's the downfall of comparing...it makes you think those thoughts.  It's something that seriously needs to stop and really takes a toll on my confidence. I've been trying to work on this lately, and when I feel the jealous/envious/bitter feeling about someone, I just try to think about what I have and then remember that they have a different life/body/job than I do so there's no point to compare. I just need to worry about being me and loving me. So when I was cleaning out some of my Pinterest pins today, I came across this quote.  It so beautiful and true and is something that I need to remember when I start comparing.

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it,

it just blooms.
