Comparison

Comparison is the thief of joy. ~Theodore Roosevelt 

I came across this quote today and loved it. How true is that? I am definitely guilty of comparing myself to others. But even more so, I am guilty of comparing myself to my past self (you know, the one who ran the marathon and was great at her job and did this and that, etc. etc.). And that's not healthy either. I am in a different stage of life now and I need to remember that. And just focus on being the best I can TODAY. Even if it's not better than I was yesterday. Because some days are just like that. But if I can be the best I can TODAY, I think there is real joy in that.

How do you avoid comparisons?
