Don't worry about the Joneses!

I really appreciate this quote because whether it's keeping up with the "Joneses" or the "Spiritual Joneses"...we need to realize that we're all on our own journey.

_

While we can appreciate and admire the journey of others, we need to appreciate our own journey including who God has made us and how He is transforming us to be as He helps us continue to make progress and grow.

_

As I've shared before, comparison living is one of the chief thief's of joy and while we may admire, appreciate or envy other people's progress or success at times, their progress and success is their's. The comparison game is largely a waste of time!

_

You need to not fall into the comparison trap and instead refocus on putting the work into your own journey. Focus on growing and progressing forward because there is only one you and who you are matters!

_

Stop holding yourself back because of what someone else does! You use your special set of unique gifts and talents

_

You will grow and progress on your own pace friend so keep walking and moving forward!

_

One other thing to note: is that while we're all on our own journeys, God can and will use each of us to help support, strengthen, and encourage us in our own journey! How cool is that!? With this, let's also consider how we may help one another along the path of life!
