This post felt like I was chatting with an old friend.

Thanks for commenting! Brian Regan is totally awesome and it’s the perfect clip for the post! My husband and I are much happier when we don’t play the comparison game. It’s a depressing game you just can’t win!

I can completely agree; my husband and I had to learn to love where we are in our lives right now and stop wishing and envying for something we won’t be able to have for a long time. Once we accepted that our lives now were pretty good, and made the most of the circumstances we have; we were much less stressed and much happier. I also think women and mothers in particular are the worst at comparing themselves to others and getting down about it.
Also, on a sidenote; I LOVE Brian Regan so that was just awesome! 🙂

Thanks Heather! You are so right about others’ success does not mean our failure! Love that.

I cannot control the success of others, and their success does not mean my failure

Thank you so much Holly! I am so glad I got over my pity party a long time ago. 🙂

Those comparison thoughts truly do not (or at least should not) hold any weight in your happiness. So many people state those “i wish” statements over and over again, yet wishing does not change anything. Wishing only causes you to dwell on what you don’t have. It is time that people start paying attention to what they DO have and start appreciating each and every gift they have been given in this life.
Great post!

Sharee, it is a struggle!! Seriously. I struggled with feelings of ineptitude in my new role as a mother for… well… I still do sometimes! But, seriously, learning to not care how I measure up or compare against others has been the most liberating. And to remember that each child develops at their own speed. I had twins to remember me daily not to compare them to another child! Hang in there Sharee, especially on those sleep-deprived days!

He isn’t as big, doesn’t walk yet, doesn’t talk as much as I would like, etc, and it is all my fault, I’m a bad mother…. It is a hard thing to combat some days, especially the sleep deprived days!
