Trading Places

Sometimes during your life there may be moments when you wish you were someone else. It may not be someone who you know very well or it may be a friend. But for whatever reason, you wonder "What if I had her life?".  Somehow things look better from the outside. For most of us, a person who seems to be happy catches our attention. Their happiness makes us question if we are truly satisfied with what we have. But be careful that it is not just their energy that is attracting you. For it is easier to obtain material things, then it is to obtain a similar energy. Your energy reflects the person who you have become. Happiness comes not by what you have in life, but by how comfortable you are within yourself. The happiness you see in others is not meant for you to have. You will only receive what your spirit needs. Today, look within instead of looking at others for what you want. Otherwise, you will always be wanting and thinking of yourself as less than. Believe and have faith that you are who you are meant to be at this moment and happiness will come.
Let's take a break and have fun...
 
(I don't think I ever wanted to trade places with anyone, but I can see where there would be an attraction to live someone's life if I wasn't happy with my own. I'm not sure if it's actually wanting what the person has or just the thought of being free of worries. Not that the other person doesn't have any, but they are better at hiding them. I guess this is another lesson of looking into the mirror to see what we are reflecting to others. How happy do I look?)
