In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be
36 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit
37 . The only solution is to reach
38 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more
39 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your
40 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get
41 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for
42 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly
43 . The only direct and honest comparison is
44 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only
45 to compare yourself to someone else if their life
46 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that
47 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can
48 someone is coming up fast
49 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best
50 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to
51 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who
52 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of
53 . You are a more
54 person today than you were yesterday. Your own
55 is all you need.
