“If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. (Ehrmann)” How true! If I compare specific aspects of myself with other people, like I used to do, I always come out on the bottom and not feeling good about myself. That was the way I was raised but that practice did not work for me. Someone pointed out yesterday that I no longer do that and I felt gratitude realizing he was right. I focus on the fact that I am the best Charlie Horton I know, and leave it at that.
