How do you fall short? We all do. The seperating factors are those that enable us to accept our short coming and constantly work toward improvment. The problem is, most people will try twenty times harder to cover up their short comings than they ever will to improve on them. Many find that the easiest way to keep their weekness from being exposed is to expose the weekness of others which can eventually cause a viscious cycle of resentment. Don't get caught in the cycle, be true to yourself and cleanout your own closet.
Michael F. Elliott Jr.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,And the world makes you king for a day;Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,And see what the man has to say.For it isn't a man's father, mother or wife whose judgement upon him must pass;The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life,Is the man staring back from the glass.He's the fellow to please: never mind all the rest,For he's with you, clear up to the end;And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult testIf the man in the glass is your friend.You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,And get pats on the back as you pass;But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass

I have experienced this with many people. Not strangers but people you love and are close to. I don't believe it is intentional but a natural defense mechanism that arises in us when we feel someone else has more than we do or may be happier than us. The truth is we will never have what everyone else has or be able to feel exactly like another person feels. We must focus on what's best for ourselves and not on what others have which we think may make us happier. Life is not a competition or a race with others, but a journey to find our individual purpose that God has for each of us. Let's encourage each other to find that purpose and not tear each other down because our purposes are different.
