I remember many years ago when a mother-of-many, who was a mentor to me, encouraged me with this phrase: keep your eyes on your own work. I come back to that over and again when I feel insecure as a mother, home educator, homemaker, minister of the gospel. We can slip into comparison so easily and not even realize that our hustling and our anxious-driven choices are being influenced by what we see other women doing. We wonder if we are doing enough or have picked the best curriculum or if our homes measure up to some new trend or standard. We see other’s successes and feel weird about our own life. We see other’s failures and feel superior about our own life. We have our eyes fixed on someone else’s work, and it doesn’t serve us well. So-called inspiration can turn to comparison if we aren’t vigilant.
