Being that we share the same first name people will often give us adjectives to differentiate between us. We have been Tall Beth and Short Beth or Smart Beth and Smarter Beth and even Southern Beth and Yankee Beth. These names helped people tell us apart but this practice of comparison can be dangerous. How often do we look at other women and do a mental comparison? The truth is there will always be people who are skinnier, prettier, smarter, more successful or more popular than you. It is just a fact. But until you accept the fact that you were created beautiful, special and unique the comparisons will drive you crazy. Instead of contrasting maybe it is time to truly celebrate with other women. Happiness will never come from being “better” than someone else. However encouraging and celebrating others will bring real enrichment to your life.
