The Scales 🤳⚖️™️

  In life, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparison. We look at others who seem to have it all together—the perfect career, thriving relationships, financial stability, or a lifestyle that appears picture-perfect—and wonder why we’re not there yet. But here’s the truth: everyone’s life journey is unique. Each person is walking their own path, facing their own struggles, and writing their own story. You cannot compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20. Your Unique Story Every great book starts with a blank page. Just as no two books are the same, no two life stories are identical. The person you admire might have spent years building the success you’re only just beginning to strive for. Their struggles, failures, and lessons are hidden between the lines of their highlight reel. What you’re seeing is the polished, final draft—not the countless revisions it took to get there.

Have you ever stopped to wonder why some people seem troubled by the happiness of others? It’s not paranoia; it’s a harsh reality. Some people carry so much pain in their hearts that they seek comfort in seeing others unhappy. It’s baffling, really—how could someone find solace in another person’s struggle? Life is a shared journey, and happiness should be universal. Even when challenges arise, it’s our responsibility to seek peace, joy, and purpose. But for some, seeing someone else thrive—whether it’s in relationships, career, or personal stability—stirs envy instead of inspiration. Why? It’s not always about what you have; it’s about the idea that you have it too. They may resent the smile on your face, the love in your life, or even the quiet contentment you’ve built. And sometimes, this envy exists even if they already have similar blessings!
