"Creativity is a powerful place. And it shifts everything."
Welcome back. To me, I mean. I've decided that constant comparisons through online surfing, whether it be with celebrities, non-celebs and/or people I know, are very harmful for health. In all three aspects, the physical, emotional and spiritual. Comparisons block the mind and soul to things outside of the illusion of the other (person), while the images we call beautiful trap us in places we hate to be. If we hate ourselves and others because we envy, then there is no space for much else.
On the other hand, there is aspiration, and being inspired by another. To look up to that other and be motivated by the things they have achieved.
These two paths lead us down two very different emotions. In trying to figure out how I end up on one side or the other, I believe part of it boils down to choice. It may be an unconscious choice that I end up being jealous of another, but I don't think it's irreversible.
"I am the Way; I am Truth and Life"
If the Way is truth, it's to see myself without tinted lenses or the opacity of what the media spurts out on the goggle box. I know I'm not there yet, please pray for me.
