Not Comparing

Hi there,

In my attempt to simplify I came across this great site that has all sorts of sensible ways to simplify and minimise. I love it because it takes a really practical approach to minimalism. I'm still working on this and making some progress; perhaps not as much as I'd like but progress is still progress hey.

This blog is a little different because it talks about our propensity as human beings to compare ourselves to each other. The writer has some great tips on how not to compare.

In the Bible, Paul also encourages the Galatians to avoid comparison. It's so easy for us to compare, but when we compare we don't do ourselves any favours. Paul reminds us to focus on our own call and walk and to be satisfied with a job well done.

Galatians 6:4-5 NLT
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. [5] For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

I hope you enjoy the following read.
