Stop Comparing Yourself To Others…Be The One!

Pin It

Stop comparing yourself to others.

There are seven billion people on this planet… and only ONE you.

YOU have ZERO competition in being yourself.

Gandhi is taken.

Buddha’s been done.

Bruce Lee has already had his fun.

Your true SELF is brighter than the sun.

You being YOU will make you the only One.

You are one of a kind – a unique, amazing, divine creation born to express your gifts with the world.

Your mere presence on this planet makes a difference, and who you ARE is the gift.

Yet we sometimes forget this. Thinking we should be something other than we are. That we must be…

…more successful

…more knowledgeable

…more skinny

…more nice

…more enlightened

…more like Gandhi or Mother Theresa.

The list can be exhausting and endless.

When in fact the very things that make you YOU, are the very things that make YOU YOU. And what makes You uniquely YOU is the very thing that makes you special.

Comparing yourself to others is futile for there is really no comparison. It only ends up killing your creativity and aliveness leaving you feeling terrible. We often think everyone else is living the dream life, and that we might be failing or falling behind. This is far from reality.

The goal in life is not to be successful by someone else’s standard but by your own authentic heart’s measure. Everyone has a different destiny and life path. You never really can know what that is for others. To look at someone else from the outside is not a true representation of what they are really going through at their level of fulfillment.

So, today let go of looking over there at someone else and comparing yourself to them.

You are not them.

You are not meant to be them.

You are you.

…and you were meant to be YOU!

The more you honor your uniqueness and the perfection of your life’s journey, the more you see your true self. The more you see your true self, the more beauty you will find within yourself to celebrate.

To succeed at being somebody that you are not (but think you need to be) is still a failure. But to love who you are and courageously be that fully is a life well lived.

The easiest thing is in fact to be who you are, but we forget.

I invite you to BE the ONE and love yourself deeply.

So, give yourself a gift today.

Stop comparing yourself to others.

Set yourself free.

I would love to hear your comments about what you most love about yourself? Tell me!!!

Love.Now

This is one of the hardest things I struggle with. It can get so overwhelming when I focus on the plethora of successes and go getters that I see in my field. Staying centred is really key and innately I know this. Practicing presence becomes the tricky thing. So often I find that just turning everything, and I mean EVERYTHING off for a day really helps. No facebook, no twitter, no internet period, no cell, no friends, no ONE and just going inwards and being still helps let go of the focus on the external and brings me back to BEing me. Thanks for this!
Namaste

It really is difficult to just look at ourselves and say – wow, great! Congrats on being YOU! To turn off all the stimuli around ourselves takes a real strength and I’ve been working on that so hard! That said, what do I most love about myself? My ability to make people laugh and the manner in which people are drawn to me (guess I can’t be that bad!)

  much love Dale.!

I went to a conference for work last weekend and felt that I wasn’t really living up to my potential. Today, instead of looking at all the things I should or could be doing to help that, I’m just going to love the potential and see what that brings me. Just accept and love where I am and who I am right now.

  keep loving you!!
K.Jackson

Thank you for all of the positive affirmations. I’m trying to become a better person for myself and learn to love myself after years of only beating others to the punchline. This is giving me inspiration to write more and sing more. I’m slowly but surely learning that loving myself is most important and that I have to do things that make me happy. So, thank you

  keep in loving yourself!!!!

This really cracked me up especially that Gandhi is taken and Buddha is done. Dang!! LOL! However i feel you on this and a great quote by Marianne Williamson comes to mind:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

You trying to be someone else is you playing small and shrinking your great power. Let your light shine. Be you. Be alive and LiveUrBliss.

Gabi

This has been the hardest part of my transformation. I often catch myself feeling terrible and thinking that my partners are more happier and successful than me. It causes insecurity and fear. And your text came at a great time, where I´m planning new projects and allowing myself to let the people (including myself) get to know the real me. Thank you for such inspiring words. And you know what? Gabi is already taken!

  much love Gabi. There’s only one Gabi. so DO YOU!

Thank you so much for this. I have heard it a million times to be me and not compare myself to others and their talents. But something about the way you express this just struck a chord in me. I feel like I just woke up! I am going to print this out so I never forget to be me. And like you said it is not hard, but some how I have been making it hard. I guess because I was really trying to be someone else, but I can’t because I am me..

THANK YOU KUTE!
