With social media exploding and getting more popular with every passing day, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. We are looking at the perfect Instagram models with the airbrushed pictures and we are comparing our reality to their social media pages. Not only is social media unrealistic, but it is giving us false hope as to what we want our lives to look like. Nobody is what they look like on social media, so we should not compare ourselves to what we see online. We think to ourselves “I wish I was as skinny as her” or “I wish I had her clothes” when in reality we do have all of those things, they are just more glamorized in the media.
Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on yourself and what makes you, you. Be happy with who you are and who God created you to be.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2
