Don't compare yourself to others,
that is when you start to lose confidence in yourself.
- Will Smith
The comparison game on social media is so toxic, and has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. I was sitting on the couch, scrolling through my Instagram feed (waisting time) and I automatically started wishing I had "this and that". Comparison truly is the thief of joy. Insecurities are developed because we compare our "behind-the-scenes" with everyone else's "highlight reel".
A lot of the time when we start comparing ourselves with someone else, we don't realize how that person worked HARD to get where they are. It is so easy to look at people's highlights and think that their lives are perfect. I promise you this, everybody has trials, big or small.
Here is the thing; just because someone has reached certain milestones before you did, doesn't mean you won't get there too.
Your worth is not measured by likes, comments, notes or followers; but in your ability to love, support, encourage, take note and lead.
What should you do when social media gets under your skin?
DELETE DELETE AND DELETE!!!
Seriously, it's that simple. There's no need to follow someone that makes you feel bad about yourself. Nobody wants to be friends with someone that doesn't bring positive thoughts to the plate. Remove all that negativity from your feeds and fill it with inspirational, fun, motivating, whatever it is that you like fill it with that.

I definitely needed this reminder. It is way too easy to get caught up in the comparison trap, to assume that all those perfect pictures someone is sharing means their life must be equally perfect. And I totally agree with deleting/unfollowing accounts that only ever leave you feeling down about yourself. I've had to do that a few times. I mean, I appreciate beautiful photos, and enjoy getting a peek into other people's lives, but I can't let it be at the expense of my self worth, because you're 100% right, it has nothing to do with likes, comments, followers, etc. And if I waste my time and energy thinking that it does, I'll be a really unhappy person.
ReplyDeleteI just adore you, thank you for sharing!! <3
DeleteSo true! It's so important to remember that we control how we feel, not social media. It's not worth it if it's effecting our self-worth!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
Deletethank you for this, well said.
ReplyDeleteThank you friend <3
DeleteYes, yes, yes! So agreed! I feel like it's very hard in the blogging world to not compare, especially when we are all vying to do well and work with brands. Loved this reminder and I've really stepped back from being number focused and working more on what makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteWhich in the end will make everything so worth it! <3
DeleteYes! I love this! Thank you for the reminder. I so often will catch myself doing this and I just need to unfollow those who make me feel that way. I also heard someone say that if you know more about that person than you do your spouse or kids, then you should probably unfollow them as well.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that, that is so true!!
DeleteIts so important tho!!! Happy people happy life :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing girl! So good and yes so true! Comparison is the thief of joy!

Good day everyone, I'm here to share my unexpected miracle that had happened to me through the help of Dr. Todd. I was happily married with two kids; we lived together as one because we both loved each other. All of a sudden, my husband started acting funny and started keeping late night. I took out time to know what was actually going on and realized that he was cheating on me. Later on, he told me that he cannot continue with me, I even pleaded with him but he never listened. The worst part of it was that he left me and my two kids with noting to hold on to. But there was nothing I could do to stop him or bring him back to me. I work so hard to pay the kids school fees and other responsibilities for good three years. I cry all day and night because I didn't know what to do to have my husband back to me until this fateful day I read the post from one Mrs. Victoria testifying how the great spell caster helped her to get her ex back. I just wanted to try my luck because I never believe it will work but I said let me give it a try. I contacted the great spell caster and he told me not to worry that my husband will return to me in no distance time after he must have finished casting the spell, which I will get back my husband. The unbelievable happened on Sunday when I got a call and I was so surprised to hear my husbands voice apologizing to me that he is so sorry for all his Wrong did, telling me he is coming back home to fix all the pains and hardship he brought upon me. Wow! I really appreciated the great work of Dr. Todd. I will always acknowledge your "FABULOUS WORKS" and there is nothing I could say than to tell the whole world about my miracle. So, if anyone is out there reading this post and you have similar issue like this, worry no more Dr. Todd is there for you, he can also offer any type of

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
