Don't compare yourself to others from "summary" of Bossypants by Tina Fey
It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. We see someone else's success and immediately start to question our own accomplishments. We wonder why we're not as successful, as talented, or as lucky as they are. But here's the thing - comparing yourself to others is a losing game. It's like trying to run a race against someone who's already crossed the finish line. You'll never measure up because you're not running the same race. Each of us is on our own unique journey, with our own set of challenges and triumphs. What works for someone else may not work for you, and that's okay. You don't have to be the best at everything, or even anything. You just have to be the best version of yourself. That's all anyone can ask for - including yourself. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you give yourself the freedom to be who you truly are. You can focus on your own goals, your own strengths, and your own passions. You can stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and start living your life on your own terms. Remember, success is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. What works for one person may not work for another. And that's perfectly fine. Embrace your own journey, no matter how different it may be from someone else's. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. And most importantly, be kind to yourself. You're doing the best you can, and that's more than enough.
