The Day I Finally Stopped Comparing Myself to Other Parents

Comparison is a common human behavior. More often than not, we don’t realize we are doing it. I am guilty of this myself, and it’s really hard sometimes not to compare other people’s lives with my own.

As an individual, I find myself comparing myself more than any other way in my life. I compare my looks with others’, my lack of friends with others’ large amounts of friends, my talents with others’ talents, etc. It’s not something I like admitting, but I’m hoping that doing so to you will help me understand that I am not alone, and I’m sure that some of you feel this way too. It’s scary to jump out of your comfort zone, but I also know that doing so will strengthen me in ways I don’t yet understand. I have always struggled with personal comparison with others, and I don’t really know exactly how to rid that completely, so if you have any ideas or solutions, I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Why is it so hard to stop comparing ourselves to others?

Author: The Mom, Wife, Dream Life Blog

I am a young mom to two little beauties, and the wife to an admirable man. I have many dreams in life that I want to someday achieve. I'm quirky, quiet, and shy, at least until you get to know me, then I could talk your ear off. I'm talented, but don't like to say that straight out as it makes me feel more confident than I am. I am looking to grow as an individual, a loving wife, a supportive mother, and socially with others. If you are someone looking to find yourself, or looking to find someone like you, I'm your gal. Let's be friends, get to know me, and I can't wait to get to know you!
