Don't let your ice cream melt while counting someone else's sprinkles - wall art print

Comparison is the thief of joy. We all know that, and with this quote being attributed to many people at different times, most of us will have heard it; we also know from experience that it is true. 

This fun summery wall art print has words to the same effect hand-lettered on it: "Don't let your ice cream melt while counting someone else's sprinkles." We have ice cream! With sprinkles! But so often we are like children flapping over how many sprinkles a sibling got rather than enjoying the ice cream and sprinkles we have.

So enjoy your life, live it to the full, make the most of the experiences and opportunities you have in front of you without worrying or caring about the experiences someone else has. Social media has made this human problem a million times worse, and it's time to get back to focusing on our own lane, not being grumpy because their lane looks better than ours. Our lane will look a whole lot worse if we don't keep running in it and jumping over those hurdles.

The heart behind the print

Pep talk over, time to find out more about this gorgeous sweet and summery wall art print. I am a summer person, and this analogy was one of the best I could tell my son, who was grumpy because the other son got an ice cream float while he was bouncing away on a bouncy castle and eating birthday cake at a friend's party. It is a sentiment I want to instill in myself and in my children, to be grateful for what you have and not envious of what someone else does. As gratitude grows, we will also be happy for others and the experiences they get.
