In today’s world, it’s commonplace to open this app & start unconsciously comparing yourself to everyone you follow..
This can be heightened during celebratory seasons when some have lost loved ones or when there is an increase in mental distress because of, for instance, a pandemic.
We know technology comes at a cost. Industrialization & scientific advancement always has its costs but today much of that cost falls heavily on the already-overwhelmed spirits of the society/public. No one can escape the grasp of ‘compare & despair’ without first recognizing & addressing it.
This is a very personal process. Each soul is like an individual fingerprint. It’s about living in accordance with our OWN values & not the superimposed values of others or societal and colonial expectation.
Upon noticing yourself in a comparison funk, I invite you to say aloud these words and see what happens :
“I love ME NOW-I don’t and won’t wait until the future”
