Enough is enough.
Have you ever heard the quote, “if you feel you have enough, then you will have more, but if you always feel you don’t have enough, then you will always have less”? I didn’t understand that sentence at first, until one day I found a book that reminded me of that quote. Have you ever tried being grateful for a whole week? If you haven’t already, try it now.

Try to spell these magic words: “I am different from them, I have my own way, I am grateful and content with what I have, and I can make even more of it; everything within me is enough for the portion I am meant to receive.” Do you understand that everything you receive is truly the best for you? What you experience is also the best for you. Perhaps it would be the hardest thing if I said, “Don’t compare yourself to others.” But it would be easy for you if I told you “we were different.” Our parents are different, our friends are different, our homes are different, and our abilities are different, so why should we be the same in what we receive? If I’m not allergic to peanuts and you are, wouldn’t that similarity kill you?
Perhaps your mind will be filled with questions like, “Why does he have that?” “If only I had a lot of money now,” “Why don’t I have any money?” and so on. Yeah… you’re not alone. I sometimes (maybe often) have thoughts like that too. And guess what? That thought always pops up when I feel insecure and open my social media like TikTok and Instagram. I can’t blame you, because no one will realize what’s going on in your mind when you see someone, then you always feel worse than them, and you act like nothing’s wrong, until you always feel less. That’s because you don’t realize what you have now. And who should you blame for that?
