Comparison is the Thief of real Joy


"When you go on Facebook it's  kind of like you're going through everyone's pictures and everyone's life, like, oh, that looks like so much fun, oh they're so cool, they're so pretty, they have all these cool pictures"

It's so hard to not compare yourself to other people like that's one of the hardest things ever in life. As human beings we just get tempted to compare ourselves to other people in the same field as us. You just feel like you don't have anything, and you just begin to belittle your own achievements.

Negative Comments
Today the chance of being scrutinized is greater because more people interact through a protected anonymous filter, potentially making self-esteem issues more sensitive.

If we find out that we do not have as many likes or comments as our friends in the network, we will feel less confident.

Offensive comments can mentally attack us and leave bad emotional scars.Some victims suicided to finish the pain caused by cyber-bullying. Cyber bullying also causes depression in teenagers. Some of them decided to stop going to school as an escape from cyber-bullying. Some even dare not go out due to deep emotional hurt caused by comments. 
"Victims of Cyber Bullying tend to have lower self-esteem than non-victims" - Journal of School Health
It's a distraction!
When you spend their free time on social networking sites, they have less time for face-to-face conversations. Thus, their real connections weaken. This causes a big distraction from study, work or family duty.

People will be unable to work at 100% of their productivity if they are addicted to social networking sites.People who spend too much time checking updated statuses on social networking sites, cannot focus on their daily tasks. Logging in Facebook or Twitter many times a day is a waste of time.

Two things that never come back in life are wasted time and neglected opportunity. If people spend too much time on social networking sites, they will not only waste their time and lower their productivity but also lose their opportunities.

"Who has a better six pack?"
Skipping meals, obsessively counting calories, eliminating entire food groups from your diet, filling up on low-calorie or diet foods, exercising excessively to make up for eating are all eating disorders that can be caused by comparing ourselves to others.

Eat right, exercise, hydrate and rest, Healthy is always beautiful!

 Treat Yourself with Respect
"It's those unique characteristics in each of us, that make us beautiful in our own way."
We should follow the golden rule of treating each other with respect, surround yourself with positive people, true friends and followers will accept you, for you.

Trash the negativity, You are in control....
"You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you"

And Yes! Beware of Envy
"So you don't like a person because he/she possesses something you imagine to be good that you don't have?"
You feel 'sick' whenever you see him/her, hear people talking about him/her or even when you think of him/her while you are alone...This is because he/she is smarter or wealthier or more knowledgeable or intelligent or virtuous than you are...

....And you are not able to appreciate his/her unique talent of possession or popularity....And by your behavior you try to downgrade, avoid, or defame him/her, feel happy when he/she suffers a loss or is in a difficulty. But you hide this feeling inside!

.

And in respect of the other says: For every term there is an appointment.

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come.





We are God' Perfect Creation
Beautiful of all Worlds

Treat HER Like a Queen...

Image
There are some tough, resilient, high resistant women out there They build walls around them to shield them from being broken You never really know what 'she' has been through She could have had nobody but herself to blame when things go wrong When a strong woman  cries, she has been strong for too long She releases anger, pain, courage and somewhat faith that she had held on That everything somehow would be just okay in the end She sometimes may feel she is winning but really she's not..... Professionally, a woman could decide to take the 'Boss' shoes She could be a firefighter, soldier, police, public figure, top executive and so many others She portrays strength, equality, courage and hope A woman should be treated as a lady no matter her profession! When a woman is 'mad' she believed in you and you let her down When she is asking questions, she wants to get clarity on the matter When she is 'tripping' for
