It sounds ridiculous but I saw an update from a friend, he said he had full time at work (we work per hours) and I felt like I haven't done anything. I know I have, but everytime I see this kind of news I get very depressed and feel like a loser.


I can't help it :(

Number one you need to stop comparing yourself to others. It may not occur to you right now but I'm sure you've accomplished many things. Try to list them to yourself!

I've been there, am still there. My health has made it impossible for me to work. I'm the kind of person who enjoys being busy. I decided to quit comparing myself and began some volunteer work. I also put more time into my kids. I make sure to do what I can to the best of my ability. I may not accomplish much but the quality of my accomplishments is great.

Waning Moon,

As you have been told in the previous posts, comparing yourself to others is a definate down fall. Looking for trouble there.

The thing about waning moon light, it always comes back the next night.
So think about that, think about what you do for others, how many smiles did you put on someone face yesterday?

It is all important, not matter how small.

Peace
Trina

Hi WanningMoon,

Life may be short for certain people but it's enough if you do it right. Fill in your desires, what you want to do in life. A bright sunshine's ahead of you and so take it and be whatever you want to be.

Think about if you are happy with your life as it is. I think that is so important. I didn't accomplish much in life actually, but I am very happy with my life. I think that is what matters. Little things are important too. Even if a person never becomes famous, masters a talent, or even buys a new car, as long as they are happy, they are rich. Give yourself a pat on the back. Take care and keep posting. And yes, comparing yourself to others is a no no...
