Hello mellow :)
I picked up the book "THE CONFIDENT WOMAN" by Joyce Meyer again ever since I stopped reading the last time round. It is really an awesome book that helps and encourages me alot.
Today, I wanna share this - A CONFIDENT WOMAN AVOIDS COMPARISONS

"Confidence is not possible as long as we compare ourselves with other people. No matter how good we look, how talented or smart we are, or how succcessful we are, there is always someone that is better, and sooner or later we will run into them. I believe confidence is found in doing the best we can with what we have to work with and not in comparing ourselves with others and competing with them. Our joy should not be found in being better than others, but in being the best we can be. Always struggling to mantain the number-one position is hard work. In fact, it's impossible"

In the bible, Psalm 139, it teaches us that God intricately formed each of us in our mother's wombs with His own hand and that He wrote all of our days in His book before any of them took shape.

Yup, everyone is created differently by His mighty hand. He gives each of us different talents and so we should not compare if we are not talented in other areas.

"Confidence begins with self-acceptance - which is made possible through a strong faith in God's love and plan for our lives. I believe it is insulting to our Maker(God) when we compare ourselves with others and desire to be what they are." *Nod Head*

Yup, from today onwards, I will not compare! I will do my very best to excel in what God wants me to excel on, I will learn not to be pressurised by people.

:)

I hope and pray that those who have read this will be encouraged and be yourselves :)
