Ending Comparison
Bella CalcaraShare
If the Universe is a choral symphony, we are the singers. Each of us has a unique note. A note that no other person can sing. A note that contributes to the harmonious whole. A note with such a unique frequency that it takes us resonating in totality, to produce it. All of our cells must be present. Every fiber of intention and awareness and openness to stay in this place.
Not like it’s hard- but like it takes focus; intention. Like it's a muscle. And the more you use it, the easier it gets.
Every time you compare any facet of yourself or life to anyone else- you go off key from this note of true resonance.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
It stops joy from flowing into you- but also from flowing out.
You have something so unique and beautiful to offer.
To become.
You deprive the world of it when you get stuck in a comparison mindset.
Your fingerprint is 1 in 8 billion, do you expect your whole life path to look the same as everyone else’s
To resonate in totality means there are no parts of yourself that you refuse to look at.
There is nothing underneath the surface that may bubble up in the form of a midlife crisis 20 years down the road.
You accept your desires- you don’t judge them.
You know what scares you- and you don’t let it control you for a second.
You're aware of the messiest parts of yourself- and you accept them fully.
Your timeline- the timing of experiences and the ordering of events in your life- will be entirely your own. To look to other people as a reference point of “where you should be” is absolutely silly. Comparison only takes your attention off of where it should be. Comparison is an infinite loop. A bottomless pit. If you keep feeding it, it will keep eating. To keep playing the comparison game is absolutely futile.

I still catch myself comparing in areas that are my most stubborn, deep-seated insecurities. It is not something that is a quick fix. Nor is it something that permanently dissolves. We are encouraged by pop culture to always compare, always rip ourselves to shreds. Just remember- when you get to being hard on yourself and comparing - you’re misplacing attention.
You need all your attention in presence and acceptance to sing your unique note that the entire Universe is in harmony with. The one note that only you can sing.
It is when we are operating out of this energy that you open yourself up to Universal support.
