I recently received a physical copy of I'm Happy for You (Sort Of… Not Really) written by Kay Wills Wyma in the mail. Which describes me a lot. It was about how we are always comparing ourselves to others, well at least I do.
Sometimes I look at others and feel I'm missing out some of the time.Their car is always nicer, they're kids are well behaved, they have this “perfect life”. But we need to learn to not do that anymore, we'll always have regrets, “I should gotten that one job so I could have what she has”, “I should have done this or that”, and “I wish I had what they have.”
Do you ever have those thoughts?
