The Buddhists have a saying: make no comparisons. It can be a sanity preserving practice in my experience, because there will always be someone who is prettier, cleverer, more successful, more gifted, richer, luckier, slimmer, wiser. Some of those people in my life have been my mentors, thank goodness. You will have something someone else envies, but what a waste of energy envy is. It channels the energy away from your essential self and the use of your gifts, talents and experience. And using them strengthens self worth, whatever they may be. A good cook for example eats better, delights others, and makes a positive contribution to health and happiness, their own and others. Find your star and shine, Witches Cat, I'd love to see you blossom.
