Celebrating the Value of Womanhood/ The Importance & Evolution of Self Care- March 2025/ How to Value You In A World of Comparison- Rashea@LLO2 Academy
So what.
That, also, depends on perspective.
No. Maybe for a woman you're just super tall.
I cannot stand when really tall women minimize shorter woman, as if we are less than because they are much taller.
I like being 5'3. I always have. In a world of average height people I was never deemed short until I encountered taller people throughout my life.
Men don't go around minimizing the height of shorter women. It's usually taller women that do that. I wonder why though? Sometimes, I really think it's a self esteem issue being that they are much taller than the average woman.
Does height really matter? Or do we emphasize the difference of height to hide self esteem issues? Can a person really control their height? No. They really can't. Height is one of those things that only God and genetics can control.
Do not compare yourself to other women. There will always be someone taller or shorter than you. Prettier or not as attractive than you. Smaller or bigger than you. More fit or out of shape than you. A little bit of more or less than you.
Comparison is a trap. Avoid it at all cost. The price you pay is misery, stress and a lack of peace.
Be Okay with who you are, because you are enough. Utilize others success stories as inspiration to better yourself, but by all means, be yourself along the way. In a world of comparison, don't try to be someone else while bettering yourself. That's pretense and too much unnecessary pressure.
To be honest, I don't want to be anyone else. I don't want to live someone else's life. Nor do I want to live someone else's dream.
I want to be my own kinda cool and beautiful. I want to dream my own dreams and fulfill my own goals. I want to be the main character in my own story of a blessed life.
Ladies, love yourself. Love being you. Trust me, there will be other people who will genuinely love you for being you.
The Bible warns us to avoid comparing ourselves to others. It goes on to say, "You will either think too much of yourself or feel like you will never measure up." But if you focus on you, you will measure up to God's standard for your life.
Listen to me. As soon as you reach a new level of success, people will move the standard of success higher, so that you will you will never measure up. It's a game of superiority.
Let me ask you. What is enough for you? No. I'm not asking you what society or others deem is the pinnacle of success for you. I am asking you what is your enough? If you had to define your enough today, could and would you be content with that definition of enough?
If so, great! If you can't, then you must do some more soul searching or ask God what is enough for you. In a world of comparison, do not compare yourself to others. Be great at being yourself.
