Sometimes truth slaps you in the face and you recognize it as truth, going away revived and restored instead of whimpering and whining. I went through a bit of a crisis recently and the quote below was used as a slap of truth. I adapted it from something else and made myself a sign, a sign to keep this truth alive.
Blogging is not a competition and life is not a competition. It’s far too easy for me to look at others and, defying my Creator, ask why I am not as successful, talented, articulate, smart, or as good a blogger as the ‘other’ person. The adjective I insert is open game, depending on what day it is and how I’m feeling; not a healthy way to live. Truth is that there is a story that I alone am created to live. We are not here to live another’s story.
What about you? If you’re a blogger, do you relate? If not, take out the word ‘Blogger’ and fill in the [blank]! Tell us what word you filled in? Parent? Teacher? Nurse? Student? Musician? Physician? Barista? What makes it hard for us to live our own story?
