on the radio

right after new years, we had a speaker in church talking about new years resolutions.
of course i dont remember all of it,  but one thing that stuck out to me was

if you feel like you are better than or
worse than another person
that should raise a red flag
and we should re-evaluate our lives
because we are ALL sons and daughters of god
& life shouldn't be spent comparing ourselves to others


i thought about that a lot
still do, in fact.
because i try not to, but i always compare myself to others.
and i'm almost always judging myself as not as good
never good enough
i'm not as slim as her
i'm don't have as followers on my blog as her
her hair is so much prettier than mine
my house is a mess
she's a better mother than i am
the list goes on & on


so the words to On the Radio by Regina Spektor really spoke to me

so, my goal is to try take be more accepting of myself.
to try to be the best person that i can be.  to love myself.
so that i can help my children grow up loving themselves.
