If Goldfish Were Bluebirds: A Story About Self-Acceptance

Have you ever found yourself in the best of moods, feeling completely confident, only to start comparing yourself to others, and suddenly feeling as though you are lacking in some way? The good news is, if you answer yes to this question: You. Are. Not. Alone. It’s a human experience to want things we don’t have or want to change things about our lives. We compare ourselves to those around us and make ourselves believe they have it better than we do. We all do it! But guess what? There are so many wonderful and special things about YOU. Already. Just as you are. When we focus on what we already have instead of what we wish we had, this helps us grow into our fullest potential. The more we learn to accept ourselves as we are, the better we get at loving others exactly as they are, too. If Goldfish Were Bluebirds is a story about self-acceptance that follows five animal characters’ thought processes in wishing they were like other animals, however, they ultimately come to realize that their own attributes are what makes them so special and unique.
