The killer of self...

You bump into them in the street You see them at a gathering You see a photo of them on fb or Instagram And you start to play the comparison game. The thoughts fly in from all directions, You start to doubt yourself, point out all that is wrong with you and all that is right with them. If only you looked like, sounded like, had those things, lived there etc etc Ahhhh what a killer of self. Grab all those thoughts, roll them in a ball And drop kick that shit so far from your mind as you can muster. And come back yourself. Come back to YOU. Flip your mind from comparison and competition, To compassion and connection towards yourself and to others. Look at you….and I mean really look at you, And ask yourself this question. Am I being the best version of myself? Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right here right now. Ask yourself this question at the start of every day and I believe you will move through your day in a better way and will be able to adjust as you go. If there is anything you want to change and can change by all means feel free to. But if it can’t be changed, then it’s time to accept it, accept yourself, accept parts of yourself for what they are...and learn to love them and live with them as they are. You are not alone in the self doubt department, every human I know has them at some point, But it’s how long you choose to stay with those doubts and disliked feelings that matter. You are you for a reason, You look like you for a reason, That reason is because there is no one else like you, you have special qualities that only you have, so embrace every part of you. I see you out there comparing yourself, And there’s no need to, there really isn’t. What I’d love to see, is you seeing yourself in a different light, the light of love and acceptance. You owe it to yourself to work on removing these thoughts, ideals you have against yourself. And you can start right now….tonight Simply by deciding to be the best version of yourself that you can be in this very moment. So….. What will you choose, right now, that makes you the best version of you?
