Comparison is the Thief of Appreciation
I have four kids
I have a story about them that goes like this…
My two older kids are so much easier to raise
They listen and obey
They are mature beyond their years
They are respectful
Then my two younger kids came along
They have tested and tried me
They are disrespectful and don’t listen
They are disobedient
While my brain likes to tell me the older ones are easier and the younger ones are harder, the truth is it’s all a lie
The truth is I have beliefs about how a child should and should not act, and because one doesn’t align with the other my brain says it’s hard
The only hard is me refusing to accept reality and look for and appreciate what each child offers me individually instead of Comparing them against one another
All of them have helped me grow in ways I needed
Being able to see my younger children as a blessing has been my work
Luckily, Life coaching has helped in this regard dramatically
But it’s still a daily struggle and constant work for me to get my human brain to shift from “the easier complaining” about how hard they are; to “the harder” seeing how they are a blessing
They have all shaped me and molded me in their own ways to become more Christlike
For each I am grateful
I love how the Gospel of Jesus Christ aligns with my knowledge of Life Coaching and that we have the power to choose our thoughts
It is not simply our circumstances, but how we choose to think about our circumstances
We should choose wisely because those thoughts create how we feel about the circumstance
Our feelings drive our actions towards the circumstance
And our actions create what happens in our life about the circumstance
If you want to see how more fully you can bring the Gospel into your intentional thinking and parenting through Life Coaching
