The Comparing Game

JUST FOR TODAY:  Be aware of any tendency you may have to compare yourself to others, and resist playing the "comparing game" today.

The Comparing Game
I look at those around me and I want to change...
Here I go playing that comparing game again
Yet I know this is a game I can never win

At first others seem to have more than I do...
I start to focus on what I haven't got
Yet I truly do already have quite a lot

There is much about me that's unlike anyone else...
Sometimes being different seems so wrong
Yet being unique lets me sing my own song

I look around me and I finally feel content ...
There is beauty as far as I can see 
Yet I mostly notice the allure of me
