I’ve just read somewhere, nobody is truly happy with their lot in this life. So to let go comparison is the most liberating act of love we will ever do to ourselves.

A princess has shared to the public that she got cancer, a famous super sexy singer has been cheated, a dear friend who seems to have everything is dealing with strokes, a brother must put his younger brother behind the bars due to his abusive behavior, there’s news on tv regarding college students becoming victim of people trafficking in Germany…. Etc…

I used to be that person who wished to be anyone else but myself, to be anywhere but here and to remind myself about many events in the past, to worry about the future but rarely to take a breath and be happy with ‘now’. I’m still that person occasionally but there’s a change, I intentionally remind myself now that this lot of mine is the best I have, it’s the only lot I have and it’s a great lot anyway.

I’m average, a common folk, a blog writer, a translator, a wife, a daughter, a mother, a reader, an introvert, a survivor, a micro business owner, a runner. I am still not truly happy with my lot, but this is my life, I am grateful I am still here at the moment, and it is undoubtedly a great average life.

I’m going to walk farther from the comparison now… It’s time to go our separate way, and I hope not to see you again.

Comparison is the thief of Joy
