Have you ever noticed that, in your own mind, you tend to think everyone else is more intelligent, better looking, wealthier, or happier than you are? Why is that? Is that not the saddest thing? Here you are, living in the western world, with great education and health care, surrounded by people who adore you, and striving to become independently wealthy. Yet, we constantly compare ourselves to other people, thinking that “they” have it much better than you. This is an illusion that we must fight against with all our strength and fortitude.
The media has us believing that the world is a scary place, that everyone is out to get us and that we are low people because we don’t own a big business or aren’t making millions (or billions) of dollars. We are surrounded by people who take prescription drugs just because they feel insecure and bad about their lot in life. Some of the most educated and beautiful people I know need medication just to go to work everyday. Is that not the craziest thing?
You are wealthier and more beautiful than you’ll ever know. Practice the following.
(i) Begin each day in gratitude for our health, support system and love.
(ii) Look in the mirror and speak beautiful language to yourself. Be kind, generous and your best friend.
(iii) Talk to someone today and help them solve a problem. They’ll reciprocate and will help you one day.
(iv) Say a kind word to someone you meet today who looks a little sad.
(v) Keep the focus off your personal pity party and help someone else .
(vi) Spend your free time today looking at Youtube videos on how to reach your higher self.
(vii) Be proud of other people’s accomplishments. They are no better, or worse, than you. They have the same insecurities and issues you have.
Know that you are already terrific and have everything you need to do anything you want to do today. You’re special. Be your best self. The world needs YOU just the way you are.
