KEEP UP WITH YOUR JONESES

Stop blaming yourself for the shortcomings of others.  I mean just, stop doing it.  You must be content with who you are and stop trying to be like the Jones. Be what and who you are.  Do what makes you happy and content.  Don’t dwell on why someone is not liking your page on Facebook or commenting on how you lost a few pounds. So, what!!! Why do you preoccupy your mind with nonsense about how someone likes you or not like you?  Do me a favor and live your life the way you want to.  Your lifestyle is what you make it.  I know there is lot of pretending that goes on behind the scenes of Facebook, but who cares. Everyone has the right to post positive vibes and keep the negative vibes to themselves.  I have seen the negative postings from those who hate on others.  It is so crazy the madness that occurs, on social media. Or you have these so-called friends, who are so fake it is obvious, and they look at your page to see what you are doing but never comment with a nice gesture.  What I am saying is, don’t sweat the small stuff. You don’t need accolades from anyone but yourself.  If you feel good about yourself, that is all the accolades you need.  Don’t try to fit in if you are not welcomed, just do your lifestyle.  Don’t worry about things you can’t control or can’t change. Change the things for yourself that keep you satisfied with your life.  Everyone is not a friend, and everyone is not happy for you. You must fulfill your own joy, happiness, and satisfaction, in your life.  Eliminate the so-called friendships that are superficial and stop biting the bullet to continue a relationship that is toxic. It may be hard to accept that there are people in your midst that are fake friends. Just do it and move on. There is no reason for you to be unhappy, just live your happiness for you.  Lord knows that I woke up plenty of days and smelled many cups of coffee. When finally, it was like being struck by lightning. Hello!!! You’ve finally came to your senses.  Don’t be jealous or envious of anyone’s lifestyle because you can make yourself happy. If you choose your comfortable place and not to worry about how others perceive you, then you will feel better about your lifestyle and your life choices.
