It is not fair to compare yourself to other people. It is better to compare your present to your past and your future to your present!
Have you ever heard that saying that you can't compare apple to oranges? It is a very true statement, how can you compare two things that are completely different. Sometimes it can even be difficult to compare apples to apples because they can vary so much. There are many different types of apples, just like there are many different types of people. One of the many things that makes human different from apples is that we are one of ones. I know you may look like your sister, brother, father etc but still at the end of the day your a one of a kind. So how unfair would it be to compare yourself to someone else? The answer is that it is not fair at all. We all have different starting points and different roads that we take to get to our destinations.
A better comparison for a one of a kind person like yourself is to compare your present to your past. Have you gotten better, have you achieved more than you did before you got to the point your at now. Comparing the past to the present is like doing a self assessment. It puts things into perspective. The great thing about doing that is you can see how the places you have been have led you to the place you are now. Compare yourself today and see where your stand. If you have been moving forward, then you have a strong foundation to continue moving forward. If for some reason you have not been moving as fast as you want or have been going in the wrong direction, today is a perfect time to turn the car around and correct your course. Take a mental picture of where you are now and compare it to where you want to be in the future. Use that comparison to help figure out what you need to do in order to have the future that you seek. There is no better time than the present, you can do it just keep pushing!
