"People like to compare themselves with a single aspect of another person, which always makes me laugh. Because if you're really going to compare yourself to anyone else, you need to consider her whole life. Your friend might have more money, a better career, nicer clothes, but she also might be struggling with her marriage or her health. What would happen if instead of wasting your energy comparing yourself, you asked, Who am I? What are my unique gifts and abilities? And how am I using them? Competing is outer-focused; creating is inner-focused. Competing is being a sheep; creating is being a shepherd. Remember that you are a human being, not a human doing or a human having. So the real question isn't, What are you here to do or have? It is, Who are you here to be? Focusing on that journey is going to be much more fulfilling than wasting energy trying to keep up with what everyone else is up to. "
