Sometimes I think the most important thing to remember is not to compare yourself to others. You’re on your own path, and if you keep at it, you’re going to get somewhere really interesting. It’s not a competition. You don’t need to “beat” someone else.
— Mark Crilley
“To compare is to despair.”
Don’t remember where I read this quote, but it has helped me greatly on my journey. Thanks for the reminder, Caroline. 🙂
Agreed! I just can’t see any good come from comparison. It doesn’t drive me to do better, it makes me feel inadequate or jealous. I don’t want to dwell there.
I found this quote pretty recently. Usually when I collect quotes on reading and writing I pull something from the bottom or middle of the list, but this new one right on top felt like something I should share straight away. I’m glad I did.
