The Secret You Should Know If You Get Down Comparing Yourself to Others

When you look at your phone, don't people around you seem to shine brighter than you? Friends who are good at sports, classmates who always get perfect scores on tests. Have you ever compared yourself to them and felt down, thinking, 'Why am I so useless?' But wait a minute. The reason you feel down is because you're comparing your 'behind-the-scenes' with their 'highlight reel'. Everyone shows only the good parts they want others to see. Even people who seem amazing have their own struggles at home or things they can't tell anyone about. You don't need to compare your whole self to just a shining fragment of someone's life shown on a screen. The person you should compare yourself to isn't others, but 'yesterday's you'. If you learned even one new thing yesterday, that alone means you're moving forward. Please cherish the pace at which you walk.
