“Comparison is the thief of joy.” -Theodore Roosevelt
Isn’t that the stinking truth? Do you compare yourelf to the people around you? To celebrities? To the people who excel in your field? Stop it! Right now! It’s self defeating. Compare yourself to yourself. Are you making progress? How’s that project coming along? You’re better at your craft than you were last year, right? I know you are! So take pride in your achievemnents and forget about everybody else. Have some joy! It’s free!

Comparison is definitely self defeating, yet we still do it constantly. I’ll make an effort to stop it today and find some joy!

Absolutely right on! Love this quote, and I do believe we’ve all been guilty of the wrongful comparisons to others. Maybe it’s age, but I find it easier to shrug those thoughts off now and go on about my own business.

I know, me too! I used to be way more worried about what everybody else was doing. It really does bring you down.
