ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!



If only I was ______ enough
(pretty, slim, rich, successful, clever etc)
Life wouldn’t be so tough

Do you compare yourself and then feel shame?
It’s time to stop this destructive game,
Stop with the comparison trap
It’s a guaranteed way to feel like crap,

No one is perfect, it’s all an illusion
Stop torturing yourself with such delusion,
You’re good enough and better in fact
Now quit with the comparison act.

 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    Yeah Cat! Tell it like it is. We need to stop doing this to ourselves. We are perfect the way we are :)

    Yes Cat, Comparisons are nothing but a trap. They do more harm than good to one's self-esteem.

    So right Cat! Comparing your self with others is never the answer...one should learn to love themselves just as they are, all flaws intact!

    True Cathy. I have to share this with you...just now I was talking to my colleague, who had met with an accident last year and fractured her ribs. I noticed she looked slimmer and radiant. Asked her, if she has returned to the gym and she replied, "Nisha, No gym. No diet. I just learnt how to stay happy. Nothing bothers me now. Not money, not friends. It's just me and my man!"

    brilliantly said. Our imperfections makes us what we are... why demean it by comparing it with others. We can achieve a lot if we do things for our happiness rather than to please someone else.

    Bravo! I don't compare myself to others often. I just wish there was more of me to tackle all the things I need/want to do. :)

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
