We are born with only one obligation to completely be who we are. Yet how much of our time is spent comparing ourselves to others?
A flower in it’s excellence does not yearn to be a fish, and that fish in it’s unmanaged elegance does not long to be a tiger.
But we humans find ourselves always falling into the dream of another life or we secretly aspire to the fortune or fame of people we don’t really know. When feeling badly about ourselves, we often try on other skins rather than understand and care for our own.
When we compare ourselves to others, we neither see ourselves or the others we look up to. We only experience of the tension of comparing.
The universe reveals its abundance most clearly when we can be who we are. Every weed, ant and wounded rabbit, every living creature has its unique anatomy of being which, when given over to, is more than enough.
