"A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms." – Zen Shin

It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of comparing ourselves to others.

Somehow we need to find a way through all of the comparisons and see ourselves for what we really are.

I believe we are God’s children.

Wonderfully and individually made.

With a set of inherent possibilities and futures unique to us.

Whether or not we make the most of those opportunities is a matter of embracing who we are capable of being.

Forget about comparing yourself to others.

Forget about what they are doing.

Figure out how you can serve and love the way you were born to and then get after it.

Make it a great day.
