There is a quote that I love that I have lost the source for. But it says, “one of the biggest causes of misery is the way we chronically compare our insides with other people's outsides".
- cr0sh 7y agoMy wife has another good quote framed; I don't know who originally said it, but it's something like: "Worrying is suffering in advance." So - stop worrying about what and how other people are doing, and focus on improving yourself. Better things may or may not come from that, but worrying about whether it will or won't, will not help you one way or another, so just don't. At times, easier said than done, though.
- doctor_eval 7y agoThat is such a succinct and better way of something I’ve been saying to my wife and kids for years: worrying about something just makes it twice as bad. But this is way better, thanks!
