FOLLOW YOUR PATH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT OTHERS

I’ve found the topic of ‘Social Comparison’ has come up in videos I’ve seen recently and sermons I’ve watched so I wanted to give you my opinion on this topic.

I think it’s brilliant people post pictures and updates online on what they’ve been up to and how they are progressing in their businesses or skills etc. I admit I use social media to advertise nutrition coaching. Here is a VERY important point though.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking —> “Oh look, she is doing so well with her baking business, what have I done compared to that?”, or, “Oh man, my friend has managed to do all that gardening, exercising, cooking, and what have I done?”

Please remember, YOU have been uniquely made and YOU have a unique set of talents that NO-ONE else has. Every person is different and every person has their own purpose. This is backed up by scripture and I think it’s amazing to know how we can all discover our own unique set of skills.

It doesn’t matter at all what other people are doing, you have your own path and every person is going to go through different seasons of life at different times. You do YOU!

If you think you haven’t discovered your unique skills yet, just try this —> Review a typical day and see what activities you always include into a normal day. Also, think about what’s on your mind a lot everyday. For example, you may love to include cooking everyday and you think about cooking a lot because you’re genuinely interested in it. There’s one of your unique skills.
