Comparing Yourself To Others and What it Means — Kara Payton

Before you compare your life to someone else’s, consider what it means. You saw someone beautiful, walking down a winding pathway in Italy. You think, ‘they’re so beautiful, so young, in love and clearly wealthy’, while you are laying in bed on a sick day from a job you don’t love to make money for bills-not vacations, or you’re a good bit heavier than they are, or older, or single, and you start to feel terrible.

There is a gift in there. You just need to stop before you start feeling the terrible feelings.

It means you sent a desire to the Universe.

A desire for more.

Why?

Because of the way you think it will make you feel.

A desire to feel something you are not currently feeling.

It is not about the fact that they were in Italy.

It isn’t about the price tag on their clothing.

They may not feel any of what you perceive they are by being there.

I know plenty of incredibly wealthy people who are deceitfully miserable.

The truth is, it may be staged and fake for the advertisement or paid sponsorship.

And if it is real, it doesn’t guarantee any of what you’re perceiving that place, that circumstance or that person to be feeling.

You could turn around and feel what you assume it feels like to be there and have those things now.

You’d do a hell of a lot better job receiving from the Universe if you did.

It is not about the right choices, the right age, the right time & place or luck.

Because there IS a difference between you and them but its not what you think.

The difference is that they knew how to get into the receiving mode and trust what they desire was on the way.

Can you do that too? You sent the desire. Now stop there and trust.

Remember these desires are wonderful.

Your inner being never wishes that you hadn’t asked to be or desire so much.
