Run Your Race, Don't Compare Yourself To Anyone
It is a mistake to think time is going; time is going nowhere.
On the contrary, time is infinite and here until the world ends.
But you and I are finite.
We will grow old sometime.
So let's make better use of our time.
Run your race.
What works for one person may not work for another.
Focus on the gifts and talents you have, and don't be envious of others.
And remember, don't compare yourself to anyone.
A cow eats grass and gets fat, but a dog may not survive if it eats grass.
Never compare yourself with others.
Both Lion and Shark are professional hunters.
But, a Lion cannot hunt in the Ocean, and a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle.
That a Lion cannot hunt in the Ocean doesn't make him useless and that a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle doesn't also make him useless both have their territory where they can do well.
If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn't mean the rose can make a better stew.
Don't try to compare yourself to others.
You also have your strength, look for it and build on it.
Never look down on yourself; keep looking up.
Remember that Broken crayons still colour.
Keep on pushing; you never can tell how close you are to your goal.
Stop thinking you're doing it wrong. Your path doesn't look like anybody else's because it can't, it shouldn't, and it won't - Inspiration Exploration.
Don't compare your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 15. Follow your own path, write your own life story and never give up on yourself - Live life Happy
Keep moving forward.

Well said Muslimah
I am.in my own race at the moment.
I am only a competition for me. I race against myself to better myself .
Thank you for sharing
I like that Simone, just like me.
I don't race against anyone but instead, learn from people better than I am.
Thank you for the support.

Some really good analogies in your signpost of a post, Muslimah. We are human, so one of the pitfalls is that we can become experts at comparing ourselves to others as we interact.
It can be helpful to be focused on what we are doing without regard to what others are doing.
On the flip side, it can be advantageous to put ourselves up against those that are achieving. Point in case the articles that are ranking on page one. In the context of that, a comparison can drive us forward to create the results we are searching for.
