run your own race

its very early but I had to make this post..I want to start off by saying dont feel any sort of way if you see someone doing what they intended to do with their..if you see them gaining what appears to be success or if they are happy with whats happening…do not feel a way because honestly thats not making your situation any better..earlier today I was surfing the web and found myself looking at an old friend and this particular friend of mine was very close to me at one point..but unfortunately I had to cut the strings on that situation because i felt it wasnt helping my situation at that time..so technically you can say i was being nosey [haha] but none the least I wanted to see how this person was doing..and honestly it seemed like they were doing big things and getting their feet wet in the field that they desired too for some time which was great!..but I noticed that while i was looking at how far theyve come..i caught myself feeling a certain way. Now i was not hating..I was comparing my old friends situation to my own..I wasnt where I wanted to be in life and they were. I failed to realize that it was my own fault and watching someone else live their dream had me in a way with myself.. when i realized that I was feeling a way i said to myself STOP because i wasnt doing anything except wasting time and not solving my solution. even though i was happy for that person..i wasnt happy for myself and that wasnt right. I found myself looking at what i dont have versus what i do have!…I am doing well for myself and should appreciate it. in this economy times are hard and honestly i have it good..I cant complain but there are other things i want to achieve that i witnessed someone else achieve and that made me upset that i couldnt say i did it aswell..that i couldnt bring myself in that direction but under the radar..i did bring myself there. I guess the point that im trying to make to you..learn to run your own race..dont compare yourself to others..dont live your life according to someone elses prospects..because once you start doing that you find yourself..with many terrible attributes like doubt, sadness, low self-esteem, jealousy, confusion, and negativity of all types. it’s not fair to yourself for you to fall down those bottomless pits of unjust! when I found myself comparing and just having a down state of mind i was not giving myself enough credit!..we must remember to always appreciate what we have and where we are in life..and yes those times of feeling that we should be farther in life does come out..when your inner go getter comes out to play..thats when you put on your Prada boots and walk the good mile and chase your dreams until you can live it!….honestly ppl dont waste your time upset or feeling a way because you stopped by your friend home and see their new flashy car, new hot banging spouse, new job promotion, new baby, profession, looks, lifestyle…stop comparing your situation to others because only one person doesnt grow from the situation and im sure we all know who that is!..so please do right and run your own race!

 

Take Care =)
