Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Take a moment right now to reflect on your life and all the things you went through to get to this moment. Consider the struggles, triumphs, and defeats that helped contribute and reform the powerful person you are today. Now ask yourself this simple question, does the success of others suddenly dilute yours or my accomplishments? We will save you the time, the answer is NO. It was once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy” by the late president Theodore Roosevelt. Your happiness can be rooted in many things but it should not be rooted in someone else’s achievements.
