Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap

We live in a competitive world and it’s easy to fall into what I call the “comparison trap”. We all get caught in it sometimes, some more than others. Admittedly, I fall into it a lot. Wanting what others have is the ultimate thief of joy and will leave you in utter disappointment with your life. Compare yourself to others and you’ll take for granted your own gifts and opportunities. Galatians 6:4 is a stunning statement to combat comparison, it’s telling us to take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.You see, someone else’s success does not rob you of anything. If we can remember this, we can remain confident in the calling God has on our own life. I know it’s hard, sometimes we look at those around us and it seems like everything always works out for them. Like they have a different set of rules they are privileged with...well, it may be that they do. But what I am confident in is if we stay focused on what we can do with what God has blessed us with we can trust that the dreams God has placed on our hearts are there for a reason and everything will come together as it should because God did it.Have a great weekend!Go Dawgs!Peace,
