Envy and comparison
are useless.
An absolute negation
of our inherent Buddhahood.
Our inherent capacity
to manifest
whatever we’d like to see
happen in our lives.
To keep track of what
others are doing.
To allow the apparent
success, happiness, fortune
health, love or accomplishments
of another,
bring
a small pain to our own
heart
as we reflect
on what appears to be
our LACK OF
success, happiness, fortune
health, love or accomplishment
is to abuse ourselves.
It is to look at ourselves
and say to ourselves
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’re not trying hard enough.”
“It’s your fault.”
“If you were only smarter.”
“Nobody likes you.”
“You’ll never amount to anything.”
“Why try?”
That voice.
Is your enemy!
We should treat ourselves
as our own best friend.
When a friend is feeling down and in trouble,
We wouldn’t put them down even further.
So why do we do this to ourselves?
Abandon ourselves at the crucial moment?
We should stick up for ourselves!
We should pat ourselves on the back
and look in the mirror every morning
and be glad to see ourselves.
Stand up for yourself.
Your life has infinite potential.
Go for your dreams.
And applaud the folks around you
who are enjoying fortune.
Don’t compare yourself to them or envy them.
Good for them.
And good for you.
You have the whole world at your feet.
Waiting, for your instructions.
