INTERESTING! Today I realized for real (cuz I've said it before a million times that I compare and compete but this morning I believed myself) this time that I compare myself to others, almost on a moment by moment basis and it's deteriorating my self esteem and self worth.
From the time we are small we are taught from other siblings, friends, family, religion, school, the world around us, etc, to always be noticing the person who is doing it "right." We have a gazillion examples around us of how we are supposed to be and yet the rules of "being" are arbitrary. WHO MADE THOSE UP? And who said that whoever made them was up was correct? I'm with Elphaba, "I'm tired of playing by the rules of someone else's game."
When my happiness is based on whether people think I am doing the right thing (which is a million people thinking their way is right) my happiness is gone once I'm with another person which tells me that I have to decide my own rules and if I live by them, I will be happy.
So what are my life rules??
