"Oh, I bet you were the prettiest girl there, weren't you?" "I'm sure you got the highest score on the test, right?" "You have to be the funniest girl of all of your friends, don't you think?" So, I thought I had to be ALL those things ALL of the time. I thought I had to be the -est to have an identity. If I wasn't the -est, who was I?<br />It has been a struggle in adulthood to stop comparing myself, to not be jealous if I come up lacking, to celebrate other's success. I'm trying to remember when someone achieves more - that does not mean there is less for me. <br />I try not to set my son up as the -est, because I know you teach what you have learned. And, of course to me he is the -est of all <3 but I know first hand that will not serve him well.<br />Thanks for your brave words, my friend. Love & happiness to you, sweet Momma xoxoxo MiracleJ.Miraclenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-78734977975123643532015-09-11T06:20:08.226-07:002015-09-11T06:20:08.226-07:00Wise words.

On things like my son not reaching milestones at the same time as his peers, I've gotten much better, but I do still find myself doing the comparing game in so many other aspects of life.
