“It’s so easy to compare yourself with others, you can get lost in how much you wish you had what someone else has. Have the courage to be happy for others and still be content with what you have, nothing good comes from wanting what your neighbor has when you could be working hard for the things that are good and worth fighting for. Have the courage to lay down your ego, because humility is far more beautiful than the things you desire. Have the courage to reach out in love, because light can never be overcome by darkness. Have the courage to lay it all down, because we need to be an example of a greater and more fulfilling life than a life of greed and comparison. Once you let go of your selfish wants, you will begin to see how wonderful life can be when we extend an olive branch to those who so desperately need to be loved. You will breathe and smile, knowing that you are stepping into the light.”
After losing my possessions in past December fires, 100% everything i owned, includes the stuff that goes w/ raising kids, marriage,etc- This is why the words on this post, mean so much. You really don’t know, what someone is experiencing. You never can tell. So i try to remain kind, and try harder, not to be opinionated, much less judgmental. If i have a clean pair jeans, and clean tshirt, then I’m pretty lucky. By meg @oldfarmhouse
