“Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.”- Jon Acuff
I know it is pointless and unfair
I know that I should not compare
Myself with others, but I seem to forget
Quite often, inadvertently I seem to set
Out to compare my life’s circumstances unique
With others, subjecting myself to critique
Wallowing in abject misery self-inflicted
Later hating myself for being afflicted
With this malady, albeit common,
Of being tempted to indulge in comparison
Even while counting my blessings it appears
I compare myself to those with more tears
Over time one thing to me has become clear
Compare, and you feel superior or inferior
Neither brings contentment to the heart
It threatens to pull your uniqueness apart..
So I have been working to let go
Of this dreadful habit, progress is slow
Less comparison does make me feel better
(Also from spending money it does deter)
One final thought here- with nothing to compare
Yourself to , you can be perfect, that’s only fair!
