Sometimes when I get a flash of the thought “What’s wrong with me?” or “Why can’t I do that like everyone else?” or some other such comparison, I try to remember myself that there are an estimated 7,714,576,923 other humans in the world.
This is to remind myself that if I am to compare myself in this way to other people, really, it should not be just with that specific set of special “people” I have selected in my mind, against whom I seem to differ so much in this moment.
If I am to compare myself, it should actually be with a group of 7 billion, 714 million, 576 thousand, 923 other humans in the world.
And it often helps me to come back to myself.
And if again I ask myself “What’s wrong with me?”, I then wonder how many other people are thinking this same thought in this same moment?
Just a thought…
