Why do we as humans constantly compare ourselves to others? Why can't we be raised to think and believe that it is ok to be the best we can be? Instead of - I wish I could write like that person, I wish I could speak that him/her. If only I were good at.....
The bottom line is I know very few people who think and feel this way. Maybe my daughter. What did I do to make her so confident? Actually it would be more accurate to say what didn't I do to make her so confident? I would have never won a mother of the year contest.
My point is I really want to just be happy just being me. I'm not miserable, but I want to be content with my career, my vocabulary, my life. I want to believe that not remember every little detail of my day doesn't make me a loser or a prime candidate for Alshiemers (and I'm not going to look up that word).
Blogging takes effort - like going to the gym or remembering. Or dieting, or not drinking your favorite beverage.
Effort according to the dictionary means - exertion of physical or mental power. So it is kind of like work. No wonder it no fun. Why can effort mean doing something that stimulates neurons in you body, causing pleasure and the feeling of happiness.
To be or not to be - today I choose to be! What about you?
