On Comparison


To maintain a positive outlook in life, I’d been told to count my blessings and have also told others to do  the same. It seemed to work for some moments but at the end of the day, I was back to square one. I’ve been told not compare myself with others, and I told others the same; because if we compare ourselves with others we either become vain or miserable. Compare yourself with yourself and enjoy and take glory of the progress – the difference.  This worked for me for a long, long time until in recent years: I was  terrific in the past, now I’m in a terrible shape.

Lesson: Avoid making any comparison of any kind  to escape misery. Accept people, things or whatever that comes. Live at every moment. Be happy or be sad according to what is called by the situation. Savor what you feel, whether joy or pain, to the last drop;  nothing lasts forever.
