Comparison Is The Thief of Joy, Franklin Roosevelt

Wow, I'm working my way through the bootcamp - getting comments and feedback, which is helpful. My one big issue is not getting caught up with comparing my progress or site to anyone elses.

There are people who have been on less time than me that have a higher ranking, have better websites and seem to be going ahead in leaps and bounds and I feel like I'm slogging everyday to just get one more article on my site (ok, ok, I'm also not the quickest!).

One conclusion I have come to is: we are all in this together, however we are all running our own race - we have our own lives, our own situations and as long as we stay true to ourselves and STOP comparing - we will succeed. It doesn't matter how fast you go, how much 'better' someone else is - all we need to do is concentrate on our own project and do it with integrity.

Just like in life, it all evens out in the end - things others are good at, we may not be, things we are good at, others may need help.

Once I stepped back and stopped comparing, and just worked my way through the lessons, my smile came back.

So, I'm starting another day, concentrating on my own journey and getting involved in other peoples journeys and feeling encouraged...
