I Am Enough: What Comparison does to you.
Something every young person should know is; "I am enough and I carry novelty"..
Like I've always said,your opinion about what you look like or could be like is the most important opinion about you. Whatever you think and say about yourself most likely determines what and who you become. That is why it is a great error to compare yourself with other people.
The act of comparison has painfully and unfortunately, put many people in positions where they shouldn't be,obviously, bad positions because as you begin to compare yourself with others,you start to walk away from who you are supposed to be and start your journey in the wrong direction,towards becoming someone else. Thereby, dimming or completely putting out the light which is supposed to shine on the real you.
The problem of succumbing to comparison is that in most cases, you get to be just the photocopy of who you have spent years trying to be like. No matter how you try to put it, there is and would always be a huge and clear difference between an original and a copy; an original has colors, is really clear and attractive while a photocopy is always "black and white", blurry and uninteresting. So, "black and white" is what you become,which would still make you feel intimidated and inferior. You'll work very hard only to realize that you can only serve as an alternative and not the actual need.. Be your own person,your own brand and how do you do this? You do it by building yourself up.
Its amazing to have people to look up to - mentors - but do not make it a duty to be them because we are all different and so are our future and ends. Personally, I used to make the mistake of comparing myself with others,wondering when I'd be just like them. But I realized I was only putting myself down and walking towards a dead end because, that isn't the original me and I'd only get stuck on a path where I wasn't supposed to be in the first place. You are You and that is something you should be grateful for. You do not need to re-live someone else's life because they've done that already and the world needs to see something new..the world needs to see YOU! And if you don't show them, who will??
So,dear beauty, you are enough and if you don't say that to yourself sincerely,nobody else will. Everyday you wake up, just tell yourself " I am enough, I am capable..the world needs to see something new,the world needs to see me too".. Then,put yourself to work and don't forget to spread the word of beauty and love.
P.S : please share and drop your questions. We'd also appreciate your comments. Thank you!
