Beautiful mama, stop comparing yourself to that woman on Instagram, your friend who seems to have the perfect everything, your neighbors who just bought that new something or other.
You are you and they are not.
Theodore Roosevelt once famously said that” Comparison is the the thief of joy” and no truer words have ever been spoken.
When we compare ourselves we fail ourselves.
Here’s why, there’s no one else, in this entire universe, who is you.
You are rare.
A lone creation.
God created you, beautiful mama, in his image and in his eyes you are flawless.
You’re not supposed to be an image of someone else.
He wants you to embrace your entire being and find true joy in the life he has given you.
He wants your body to tell a story of adventures, mistakes, babies, love, triumph, contentment, hurt.
You were never meant to remain small so He gave you the entire world as your playground.
Take up space.
Fill a room with your laughter.
Wear your bathing suit to the pool and jump in with your kids.
Do big and small things with great intention.
Dare yourself to be unafraid.
To let go of expections.
To remember,
you are perfect exactly as you are.
A stunning piece of art created by the king himself.
