> Never, _ever_, compare yourself to anyone else. Challenge level: impossible More realistically, compare yourself to others but chase it with the perspective that you have totally different lives and that you only see the best of other people. You probably know stuff they don't; you've each been on different journeys. If you see 3 people better than you at 3 things, it's easy to overlook that and to instead think, "Damn, I suck at all 3 of those things!" And when you do find out one of them knows less than you about some 4th thing, it hardly seems to matter since your brain is most attuned to confirming your insecurities and noticing the next thing you "need" for status or survival or whatever. :p
