We have a choice... not to

It struck me...
this word, as it is written,
that I could simply shut it OFF.

And actually as I tried this... and it worked.
I was at a sporting event, watching my daughter play ball.
There were many people walking back and forth, up and down all day long.
And I would catch myself... mid comparison.
And I'd stop... and whisper to my soul,
"No, Lisa... you have control of the settings... COMPARE IS OFF."

That's truly all it took.
Because I realized that I did not need to think at all about what another woman was wearing, doing, or being... she had nothing to do with me.
Her choices, were her choices.

​How unbelievably freeing!
