Stop the Comparisons

I will never be happy if I keep comparing myself to others.
I'll never be skinny enough because there will always be someone else skinnier.
I will have never traveled to enough places in the world because someone will always have traveled more.
I will never see enough, learn enough, accomplish enough, discover enough.
If I always compare myself to every. one. else.
That goes along with never being satisfied maybe.
Never satisfied, always wanting more, never enough.
Easier said than done.
How do I stop comparing myself?
I find that near impossible.
Why do we do that?
Why do we compare and contrast, judge and evaluate?
It must be because of our own insecurities maybe.
That would make sense I suppose.
We judge to find excuses. For ourselves.
I look.
She's so skinny.
I think: ya, but she's probably full of herself.
I look.
He's been to so many places and he's only a few years older than me.
I think: ya, but it's not like you wanted to go there anyway, and plus he's annoying.
That's a never ending cycle right there.
Judgement that I pass simply because I'm too afraid I'll never do it myself.
I'm a wimp.
I'm afraid that I'll never succeed in doing what I want.
What makes me happy.
But I need to stop making these god damn comparisons.
They'll get me no where except for a crossing with bitter and regret.

Until next time,
