Are you all aware of the methods we use to make our possessions less valuable? comparing it to something else allows us to do so quickly..... We all loved some of our stuffs untill we saw other people stuffs.

There's nothing wrong in accepting that something is beautiful or awesome through its physical appearances but we we start comparing it with what you have and by all means you want to acquire that particular stuff.... But what we don't know is that we are literally exercising a form of frustration to look at everything God has given you and to look at something God has given other people and devalue what God has placed in our hands.

There's a reason for everything we posses and you might not be aware of it now and you will likely never be aware of it when you start comparing it with others because as time goes on, you will untimely leave it behind because when comparism sets in, you will begin to feel ashamed of what you would boldly come out for before and for this reason you wouldn't be able to know the reason why you're in possession of such particular thing.

There are things that God has placed in your hands that he has never coded anybody else in the entire universe for except for you, so don't misuse it because there are also billions of people that are readily available to take your place if you're not aware of your importance and if you don't realize that, There are individuals out there who completely understand and comprehend what you have, and they all wish they could have it someday.

Similar to this, we all believe that everyone on social media, and particularly on Instagram, is content and attractive and you look at yourself lying on your bed and start comparing tat you're not good looking and that means you're not happy. However, some of the people you may perceive to be quite happy are actually not all that happy, and some of them are genuinely melancholy and sad and what had actually happened was that we had made comparisons to things that had never existed and this makes us feel inferior.

In a Christian life also, there are some that wonder why someone who live in a complete sin have everything that you want, has the house you want, has the family you want, even has a child. So many believers today are hurting because they are praying and hopeful that someday all they wish for would happen and truly it's a hard process and what the devil does is that, it makes you compare.

You might be wondering why?.... He makes you compare of what you do not have now and this makes you to lose sight of what God has promised over you for later. Because now you're walking away from the promise but God has told us that we have to walk in obedience and a lot of us turn out back against God because we are seeing other people not living for God have everything we think of at that time.

Be wise, the decision is yours

Thanks for reading ❤️❤️❤️

Comparing ourselves to others is stressful. That's why a lot of us gets frustrated a lot because of this practice.

I totally agree, since many times we lose our essence wanting that of others, nothing more beautiful than being original and grateful for what you have and what you will achieve.

The problems of the world today are from our ways of life. Life itself is simple, it's just our mindset and the way we are pushing towards it that's making it look tough. The comparison you just explained is just it, we can live freely and bring contented when we don't compare, comparison increases the urge to let go of the things you've got to go for things that others have
