I always think about how average my life is for someone my age. I see teens like me who are already successful in life. Some already have their own business; some are famous on the internet, and some are wealthy enough to buy all the things that they want.
I often compare myself to others. I ask myself why I cannot be like them. Most of us are the same age, but why is it that our lives are so different from each other. I try to think about what I did that made my life like this. Maybe it is because of some choice that I made years ago that led to my life being like this now.
But the one thing that I realized is I am so different from them as a person. That is the reason why I am not like them. My life may not be like theirs, but it does not mean that my life is not great. I am happy; I am thankful for living every day; I am glad that I am right here, right now at this very moment.
Comparing myself from others stops me from enjoying my life. It takes me away from the present, and it distracts me from the future. Instead of focusing on who I am and who I can be, it pulls me away from reality and drowns me in many what-ifs.
One of the best lessons that I learned in life is that I grow at my own pace. I should never compare myself to others because they are not me, and I am not them. I should never belittle myself and my life.
The first step to enjoying life is to appreciate what you have right now. We should look forward to the future and all of the things that we can achieve. Life may not be the way you want for it to be right now, but keep in mind that you are on the way to a happier tomorrow.
