Holidays are a great way to relax and unwind from ones busy normal everyday life. But another thing holidays are good for, especially when visiting a new culture, is to put things into PERSPECTIVE.
Seeing and experiencing different cultures around the world allows me to put my life in perspective. To make me realise I have it good! In fact, I have it GREAT!
I do what I feel I need to do in order to live a great life - we're all responsible for the outcome and HAPPINESS of our own BEING and life.
Comparing yourself to others can make you feel less empowered and miserable, just makes you unhappy. Especially if you're comparing yourself to what you're not or what you don't have.
What if, you compared yourself to others in a way that would have you create more appreciation of your own life instead? Wouldn't that make you change perspective and realise that your world is probably a whole lot better than you thought it was?
The moment you find yourself feeling upset, unhappy, cranky etc because you have compared yourself to another or others. Stop. Think about all you have instead - that you have food on the table, a roof over your head, or maybe you live near the beach or the fact you can afford to go on that beach holiday - change your perspective!
One thing I've also learnt is that if your parent, partner, friend or whoever else is comparing you to others - you don't need to worry what they think, that's their perspective. You have your own. What you think of yourself is all that TRUELY MATTERS! :)
