I find this to be true in many aspects of life. Just watching how other people do things is often a huge self-esteem boost for myself.

- CursedSilicon 2y agoA quip I'm often fond of that I think I stole from an old web comic eons ago "I can't ever get even with past-me, and I'm already on thin ice with future-me"
- hollywood_court 2y agoI'm doing my best to prevent myself from being on thin ice with my future-me. I posted recently about how I divorced not too long ago. I'm in an apartment now (for the first time in 16 years) while I stack up cash to build a new house. I always think I'm not making any progress but then I see my next door neighbors ordering DoorDash 15+ times per week, and I realize that I'm doing pretty damn good for myself. Or I walk by the mirror and think about how I've neglected my lifting for the past 6 months while I finished up this SWE degree. But I'll see those same neighbors struggle to walk up the stairs and I again realize that I'm making some awesome choices compared to those two folks.
