The Wonder of You by Ingrid Elfver

Comparing ourselves with others is natural -- but how often do you do it? Do you ever find your Self thinking that other people are smarter, more creative, more popular, more abundant, happier, luckier, more talented, or more successful?

It's easy to think that other people have it better than we do, but that is simply a clever way of avoiding responsibility for our successes and failures. The primary reason for our accomplishments -- or lack of them -- is our commitment to being conscious and in control of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs; our dedication to a daily personal growth practice; and our willingness to set healthy relationship boundaries.

Each of us is so unique and different, that we must discover our path primarily alone. No one can it do it for us, no one has it easier than we do, and there is no way that we can successfully copy another person's persona or life formula. We simply have to believe in ourselves, be with ourselves, and empower ourselves. The people you see that are most successful and happy are working very hard at it -- even if they don't talk about it.

When you are inspired by other people: use it as a catalyst to discover more of your own uniqueness and power, make your own life more incredible, and embrace the beauty that you already are. Don't put your Self down, become negative, or envy. Shine. Focus on the things that you can do each day to honor your path and feel more successful. Treat your Self with greater respect. Enjoy where you are going. Enjoy where you already are.

"I am enough as I am."

Affirmation

Visualization

Visualize your Self turning your negative thoughts and beliefs around. See how every step you take empowers you, makes you see how successful and strong you are. Each moment you are visualizing your Self living and creating Your Extraordinary Life. Everything you touch becomes successful. You are in harmony, in tune with your thoughts and beliefs, constantly conscious of what you want to do and be. You are wonderful just as you are...

Action steps

1. Stop comparing your Self to others. Instead, begin asking your Self what is wonderful about you. What is unique about you? What kind of life do you want to create?

2. Work on your thoughts and beliefs. Each morning say empowering and positive affirmations about your Self and your life. Vow to not compare your Self with others. You are unique and incredible as you are. Find things that you can call your successes, each moment, and focus on them.

3. Be strong, and treat your Self with honor and respect. Ask your Self what it really means to love your Self unconditionally and compassionately. Be mindful and kind with your Self. You can break the bad habit of comparing your Self to others or putting your Self down.
