I think we compare ourselves to ...I love your post.<br />I think we compare ourselves to others too much. We want to be as good or better as the best and the best is whatever we think a certain person is or is doing. Usually that is not even realistic. We think we have done something wrong that we are not as "blessed" as someone else in the areas we struggle in. We are not judged on the basis of other's performance but what is in our own hearts. We are given weaknesses, all of us, so that we can be humble and recognize this great gift of grace from the Savior. It is a hard thing. Life just is not easy for any of us but we can rejoice in the good days and grow from all the struggles. It is always better if we can look at the eternal perspective. handmadegiftsarebesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292168310112596864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-81800958274150894272014-03-19T09:01:42.592-06:002014-03-19T09:01:42.592-06:00I get this.

I don't think the problem is in the striving to be our best, but at (at least for me) how much the ego is striving to be stroked. That's the part I always identify and feel dismayed by. My perfection, or appearance of perfection, is all about how others will perceive me. Blech. Great reminder-- thank you.
