Let it Go!!!!

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husbands will be more successful.
SO LET IT GO...and love you and your circumstances!
Think about it...
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most successful at work may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know,
she's got the car, the house, the husband and beautiful kids,
might be lonely.
The Bible says, "If I have not love, I am nothing."
So, again, love YOU!!!
Love who YOU are.
Realize that you are too blessed to be stressed.
"Winners make things happen ~
Losers let things happen."

This has been a continuing thought with me lately. I found out that others had been jealous of the relationship I had with Isaiah...Seriously, no one knows other people's struggles and situations. It's great to be greatful for what you have.

Also, for a large portion of my life I felt bad for not being skinny. Then when I was about 22 or so, I was looking back at my pictures from when I was 16. Boy I was beautiful and didn't realize it. I'm not ever going to feel ugly again just because of comparisons to others. I wasted too much time with that!
