Comparison.

The driving force of so much of what we do...

that is,

if we are really honest with ourselves.

How much of our thoughts are

caught up in other's lives,

their accomplishments,

their path in life,

their journey of success.

Let's be honest,

we all do it.

Why else would so many humans

take the same similar path

time after time?

Why else has there become a 

"right"

way to do things?

Let's be honest,

one little word;

comparison.

But,

what if we decided instead

that life is fun, and full, and adventurous;

and, just like we are all uniquely different,

maybe we should allow our life journeys to also be uniquely different.

What if we miss out on our own personal journey,

because we are too caught up in replicating another's?

And,

we don't realize until it's too late 

and our lives have been lived already.

Surrender your need to compare,

to put out a carbon copy of what's already been done...

what's already been seen.

Why not live a little,

show the world,

YOU;

your own path.

Full of nothing more and nothing less

than all that is inside of you

that uniquely and creatively make up,

YOU.

peace. love. joy.
