How does one shift from a totally different mindset when it’s deeply rooted culturally and generational in the family for that matter… I have been married to my husband for 16 years and 21 years together and I saw how comparison cripples a person and poisons the heart. I have lifted every aspect of my life to the Lord Jesus Christ and fully surrendered my husband to Him. I simply trusted and obeyed… Truly He never fails.. The road is long and the journey tedious… But all I can say is God is good… It’s all Prov. 3:5-6. Thank you for sharing, God bless!!!

@She’s Fired, Great job looking at why the grass is greener on your side of the fence! It’s tough not to feel jealous. I’m doing a better job of recognizing it without allowing it to change my mindset.

I’ve gotten better at seeing the other side of things though, and pointing out to my jealous little inner child the cons. I went to borrow some ski clothes from a friend and her house was FABULOUS. Like Architectural Digest fabulous- cause her husband is an architect. But I reminded myself that her husband won’t let her quit working and mine did.

Great post- and your site looks great!

Hi David, Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the thought “if you do compare.” It’s natural to compare. The question is what do we do with that comparison? Changing the metrics certainly helps!

I have to remind myself often: don’t compare; if you do compare, choose favorable metrics.
Thanks for sharing.
