In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yo

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   36  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   37 . The only solution is to reach   38  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   39  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   40 .

Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   41 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   42 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   43 . The only direct and honest comparison is   44  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.

My opinion is that you are only   45  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  46  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   47 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   48  someone is coming up fast   49  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   50 .

Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   51  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   52  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   53 . You are a more   54  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   55  is all you need.
