No, I didn’t confuse my blog with my Facebook page – this
isn’t going to be about fitness, lol. I know it’s easy to be tempted to go
through life competing with everyone around us. When we see someone who’s more
talented, better looking or has more
money, instead of running our race and being comfortable with who we are,
oftentimes we feel inferior and think, “I’ve got to catch up to them.”
The problem with this unhealthy competition is that it’s a
never-ending cycle. There will always be someone ahead of us. But, it’s a very
freeing thing when you realize, “I’m not competing with you. I don’t have to
have as big a house as my neighbor to feel good about myself. I don’t have to
keep up with my co-worker. I don’t have to be a certain size. No, I understand
that I’m not in competition with anyone but ME. I’m going to be the best ME
that I can possibly be.” Friend, that’s an attitude God can work with.
The bible says, “let us run with endurance the race that is
set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” Take
your eyes off of everyone around you, trying to measure up or exceed THEIR
performance and just focus on being who God made you to be. That’s when you’ll
rise up higher and position yourself for every blessing He has lined up for
you!
