"When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." - 2 Corinthians 10:12 … And according to Mr. Lagerfeld they are void of personality as well.
The other day, I was reading one of my favorite style blog’s when the blogger did a video of her favorite shoes. {Great, I thought. I love shoes!} So, I’m innocently watching the video when all of a sudden she opens up her shoe closet and on my word, it looked like Neiman Marcus in there! She showed pair after pair after pair of her fave Christian Louboutin’s.
I quickly calculated in my head how many pairs of Louboutin’s I had…{umm, 0!} and then headed to ebay. Forty minutes! later I was still searching for a pair of moderately priced ‘red soles.’ Turns out….they don’t exist.
Why I compared myself with this blogger is still a reason I can’t understand. I think we all {and I’m saying all so I’m not completely by myself on this one} like to feel like we can keep up, shop more, shop better, have more, and be better than everybody else. Comparing ourselves with others will quickly land us into topsy-turvy land where we’ll will always be “Number 2”. Not only that but it’s such a toxic mindset to be in. It completely shifts our focus and can make a perfectly innocent and positive thought and/or ambition into a self absorbed mess.
Whether your rocking your Louboutin’s or Nine West or Payless, wear what you wear for you. Fully enjoy being 110% you, because trust me love, aint nobody like you!
