Be Yourself

by Matthew   May 24, 2006


Often we want to be somewhere other than where we are, or even to be someone other than who we are. We tend to compare ourselves constantly with others and wonder why we are not as rich, as intelligent, as simple, as generous or as saintly as they are.
Such comparisons make us feel guilty, ashamed, or jealous. We are all unique human beings, each with a call to realize in life what nobody else can, and to realize it in the concrete context of the here and now. We will never find happiness by trying to figure out whether we are better or worse than others. We are good enough to do what we are called to do. BE YOURSELF!!!!
