I think one of the worst things that women do to themselves today is compare themselves to others. “What does she have that I don’t?” It is such a common question that I always hear from women, mainly who have just been dumped or stood up or just pushed to the side. Women are each others own worst enemy. We would rip each other to shreds if we could some days. And don’t sit there and shake your head, you know exactly what I am talking about.
But why? Why are we so jealous of each other? I mean really, what makes you better than me or me better than you? I have the answer and its your own insecurities and your mind. You pick yourself apart, find your faults and then turn around and blame someone for something they didn’t even do?! CRAZY! But it’s natural and it’s women and it’s something that is hard to change.
So what I have found myself doing a lot of is, when I find myself jealous over someone’s success or someone’s outfit, I complement them. I call them out for being amazing. I praise them and I set a goal for myself to see and understand what I am really envious about. And then I ask them for help
. Yes, that’s right ladies, we work better in packs and you know it. A distant friend of mine is having great success with a blog she just recently launched. Instead of going around bashing what she is doing and being a catty brat, I acknowledged her hard work and asked her to lend a hand, giving me some pointers. We are now huge supporters of each other’s work and fighting a bigger battle together xo
