Let’s face it; it’s hard being a woman! We’re expected to be
caregivers, housekeepers, gainfully employed, intelligent, and physically beautiful all at
the same time. Not to mention, the
side-eye and negative comments we get from others if we are not married with
children by a certain age. That’s a lot
of pressure!!
Unfortunately, I think this may add to the negative attitudes
that women may project onto other women.
I’ve experienced firsthand how women can be in silent competition with
one another (trying to out-dress and outshine just to compete for male attention). Being a participant in the Female Hunger Games can be quite
exhausting and dissatisfying. However, we
women do have the power to exit this competition.
It’s time for us to be free from comparison. Stop looking at what others have and
consequently discounting our gifts and positive attributes. Refer to the word of God and remember how He
describes you. The bible says that you
are God’s masterpiece, created in His image, His child. You are blessed! You are more than a
conqueror! You are victorious! You are the apple of His eye. Once we internalize the way God views us,
then we won’t feel the need to covet another person’s qualities. Remember that you were fearfully and
wonderfully created by the One and Only true God. You are gifted, you are unique. So embrace yourself and walk with your head
up high…Being confident in God! And
remember to pass this information on to another woman who may be suffering from
comparison. #BreakOut
