Keeping up with the Jones'

Something I forget at times is that each and every one of us have a different path in life. I often wrongly judge people by their accomplishments, placing, or choices; Myself being included in the judging. We are not all meant to do or accomplish things at the same time in our lives. We all experience different things at different times and react in different ways; Those reaction are what take us each down our different paths. Your path is exactly what is right for you, and there is no need to compare your path to anyone else's. Never feel the need to compare your life with others. They are on their path doing their thing, and finding their way. You need to take your path, do your thing and find your own way, to your own pot of gold hopefully.While travelling along that path, always make time to stop and smell the roses, it makes the trip much sweeter.


Who cares about the Jones'? I shouldn't, and neither should you. Who cares if they remodeled their kitchen, bought a vacation home in the Hamptons, or re-sodded their yard? You shouldn't care, they may have just arrived at their destination faster than you did; And that's fine. Your destination may also be different. You may not have a vacation house, you may choose to buy an awesome new car. That's your decision.


Today is the day where I take lust and jealousy out of my vocabulary. I will not lust over material things, no matter who has them, or how great they are. I will not let myself be jealous of these items, even if they get shoved in my face, like some people I know like to do. They are simply not meant to be mine, or my path would have taken me to that location by now.


Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be. Right? Yeah, it will, and no matter how jealous, pouty, or angry you get about something, it's still going to be there when you open your eyes.

I have what I have, an am where I am because I've worked for it, and so has my husband. We've worked hard, and I'm proud of that. You should be proud of that for yourself, too. Although, you don't have to listen to me, because I'm just sayin'.
