Compare An Despair

 Too often we tend to “compare and despair.”  We see something that we lack or think we lack and wish we had it.  That other person is better in some way that we envy or wish for ourself.  So I try to remind  myself to look into my spiritual tool box for some humility.  The other person or situation is a call for me to have some humility.  From humility I can have a better day.  Shame won’t do it.  Regret won’t do it.  Humility takes far less energy than envy, shame and regret.  I accept where I am now, but I can make a change from my reality.  I can grow from here in my spiritual life and write this simple blog.
