A message from Michael – “Why Compare Yourself?”
We sense the struggle within you as the energy of your higher self emerges – LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! Do not allow the judgment and disregard of others to interfere with your own actions. Stand in your truth – stand in your power – stand in the Divinity of the love that you truly are and always will be.
To compare one person’s path to another is like comparing one star in the sky to another star – each is so beautiful, each so unique – each having its very own place in the sky, but also embracing the collective whole of the universe, just as we are all ONE. Each star plays its role – along with the others, as they need one another to shine so brightly. You cannot really compare one to another as each is different yet one in the same. The duality of this may confuse you, so let us break it down further for you.
To use someone else as your measuring stick – how you want to be, what you want to achieve – is truly a disservice to yourself. You should always measure your greatness based upon your own efforts, your free will, and your spirit – not someone else’s accomplishments. Just as the analogy of the star comparison comes into play – to compare one star to another is also a disservice. For while one may appear to shine more brightly than another, from a different angle, from a different perspective, the entire perception shifts. And in fact, each serves a purpose, and possibly the one that has the appearance of shining the brightest was placed next to the other star in order to light their pathway in the sky.
We would suggest that you remember this example the next time you feel jealousy or insecurity based on comparing yourself to another person. Remember, you are all one in the same, all working towards the greater good of all. If someone rubs you the wrong way, or appears to make you feel smaller in any way (and remember, no one can MAKE you feel a certain way – this is a conscious choice that you make) look for the lesson in this. Is it truly the person you are unhappy with – is it really them that creates this feeling of lack within you? Or is it what the person represents – the energy they convey – the feeling and power of being and breathing their truth – could this be where the jealousy and lack stem from?
Search your hearts, Children. Know that you are all perfection in all ways. Know that when insecurities arise, this is a lesson to be learned from within you. You can only be the best person you can be – you cannot walk the path of another person. You have no idea what that person’s path has been, or the life lessons they have already accumulated.
Stand tall and walk your own journey to the best of your ability and be proud of who you are – this is the only measurement or comparison you will ever need – ask yourself, “Am I Giving It My All?”
Life is all about allowances, boundaries, and compromises. It is also about opening yourself up to fly as high as you can – it is not about settling on anyone else’s ideas of who you are or who you should be. Celebrate the wonder of who you are, right now in this very moment. That is the gift, Children, YOU are the gift. Treat yourself as the prize and miracle you rightly are. ~*~
