“One of the marks of excellent people is that they never compare themselves with others. They only compare themselves with themselves and with their past accomplishments and future potential.”

    And that’s VERY hard to do, isn’t it? Really hard. In fact, I think most of us do it constantly!

    @therapydoc: I agree. I’ve been thinking about the quote for quite a while (thus the post) and wondering if it’s achievable. Western society, for all of it’s promotion of autonomy, actually insists we conform and therefore compare ourselves constantly. Still, wouldn’t it be freeing to not care? Thanks for visiting!

    Welcome ...
    ... to my little corner of the internet. My blog's greatest asset is it’s auto-magically random randomness. A record of a few of my life observations, spiritual ponderings, and goofy anecdotes, I hope you find something that tickles or inspires you.

    I also hope you leave a comment because, heck yeah, they’re fun! For the record, I believe in God. While I am far from religious, I strive to be profoundly spiritual. And, uh, yeah … I fall down a lot!
