my thoughts: on comparing

Comparison.  Comparing yourself with others.  I hear all over the place that we should not compare ourselves to others.  What do you think about that?

In my life, I have done many of the difficult things I've done because I've known someone that did it and felt inspired by their accomplishment.  So, I did it because I compared to inspiration.  Isn't that the thing.  If we compare to desperation, we just shouldn't do it.

But we can change how we compare.  Compare to inspiration, not desperation!
