Just saw a pic of Kim Kardashian and wondered how on earth she's able to carry a toddler while wearing 6inch stilettos!? The kind that are held together strings or whatever (I'm not well versed in fashion). Many say she doesn't have a talent but that's talent right there! Or a well practiced skill which I'll probably never possess.
Here I am considering ditching high heels after nearly falling twice at church this passed Sunday. Both instances included a baby on my hip. So now imagine adding paparazzi, intensely tight fitting clothing and the mental stress of having to look elegant and cool while strutting down the street. Ugh! No thank you! I'm braking out in sweat at the thought. Poor Kim;)
On a serious note though, we really need to appreciate our own life experiences a little more. It's so easy to compare ourselves to our wants instead of really focusing on the actual blessings. The need for more, the want for more...it takes you out of the present. It's easy to think that having what others have will instantly fix your current situation. Or that your dreams will be realised if only you had___________(fill in the blank).
So here's a question: To have what Kim Kardashian has, would you be willing to do what she had to do to be who she is today?
I phrase this question to myself whenever I feel like I'm playing the comparison game. And of course the name is never the same. So replace it with something more realistic to you. This can also be done in the positive because there's nothing wrong with hope and desire, as long as it doesn't negate the blessings that already surround you.
Side note: I have nothing against Kim Kardashian - she's a social figure and her life experience (as we know it) is simply used as an example.
