Your Own Plate

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read
'Yummy'

“Don’t let your food get cold

watching someone else’s plate.”

Our lives and our time

is far too precious

to waste on comparing ourselves to others.

Why are we looking at someone else’s life,

wishing and wanting,

when we have a life of our own?

Our own lives!

Every single one of us

has our own journey in life,

with all of its

opportunities,

challenges

and experiences.

Why are we looking

at the ‘food’ on someone else’s plate

when our own plate is so full itself?

Find joy in your own ‘plate’.

And like we always try to eat food we enjoy,

do and have things in your own life

that you want and enjoy.

The potential we personally have

"is endless"

if we would only ‘tap’ into it.

If we constantly look at others' lives,

we will miss out on so much in our lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
