You want to choose happiness, stop comparing your life with someone else. We are all unique in our own way. To find your happiness you have to like who you are. As John Mason put it, “You were born an original. Don’t die a copy.”
When you were made you were made unique and by comparing yourself to someone else you are insulting your maker. You take away your purpose from this world. Ever individual is made so they can contribute to the world and touch the lives they were meant to, while here on this earth.
When we stop looking at others and comparing ourselves to them, we can find the happiness within we deserve. When I talk about comparing our selves, it is with your neighbor, friends or family. They may have more material things then you, but this does not make them better then you?
I was a single mother with three beautiful daughters. I remember counting change to see if I could buy a loaf of bread. At the same time I had a sister that lived in a $400,000.00 house that was paid for. But she had no children. Guess who was the happiest? Yes, it was me. Riches come in many ways, and I was the riches person in the world and happiness.
I look on the magazine racks in store and see all the picture of movie stars on the covers. Hear about them on TV and the radio. Hear how people talk about them. People want to dress like they do, be like they are. It really is sad to me. Don’t get me wrong I am very glad that we have people in this world that can entertain when we just want to relax and get away from the world for a while. But that is just what they are, entertainers. That is there job and most of them are real good at it, I might add. Yes, everyone knows who they are, but are they really happy? Does being a movie star really bring you happiness? Read about their lives, do they really seem happy? They have more problems than most people I believe.
When we try to be like someone else, we do loss who we really are. To be happy within ourselves we have to concentrate on ourselves. The little daily things we do and the way we touch others lives, this is what is important. As I sit here writing down these words, there is not another person around me. I don’t have my picture on or in any magazine and that is fine. If I can help one person in a million find happy in their life, this will be worth everything to me. I am just one person in this big world, but I can make a difference in the world. Listen to this movie, “The Teddy Stallard Story” and realize that you are special and unique. I am unique in what I have to say and things I do. You are too; it is ok just to be you.
Take a good look at the good things in your life. Every night before you go to sleep think about all the good. It is ok to want things that aren’t in your life, because that gives you a goal. Just don’t get stuck wanting, instead make those things goals for your life and be happy where you are at the moment.
Write down all the things about yourself that are great and unique. Everybody has them. This helps to see yourself the way others see you which is SPECIAL.
What makes you special? I want to hear, so just let me know in the comment box below.
Thanks to all you special people out there and have a very happy day,
Debbie













Debbie,
Great post. Everyone is different and unique in their own ways. So different things can make them happy too.
Hm, what makes me special. I have a girlfriend who loves me so much and wants to better me. My family and friends are the best. They will do anything for me. I am really grateful for the people who I love for and care for in my life. All of that makes me extremely happy each and every day.
Kind Regards,
JM

Hi JM,
I can tell that if you are not in Love you are getting there. It is wonderful to be in a good loving relationship. I can tell that you are special.
When I met my hubby he could be a little distant sometimes, but I always knew there was a teddy bear inside just waiting to show itself.
I do believe that is what happiness is about, the people in our lives. I don’t think I would be to happy being the only person on this planet.
Thanks so much JM and I shall check out your “7 ideas for what to say to your girlfriend when she is crying.” Maybe you can help my hubby out with that one. He just clams up because he doesn’t know what to say. Thanks
Have a great week end and may happiness always be by your side.
Debbie
Debbie, I agree that we have to be comfortable with who we are.
It’s all about being comfortable in your own skin!

Thanks John, yes if you can’t be comfortable in your own skin and like yourself, how do you expect someone else to like who you are.
Thanks John,
Debbie
