Don't Compare Yourself to Others, Forge Your Own Path!

Hoo hoo hoo hoo... Everyone! There's a saying in "The Wisdom of a Monk's Garden" (Saikon-dan): "When blaming others, use the same heart you'd use to blame yourself; when blaming yourself, use the same heart you'd use to forgive others." Are you perhaps being harsh on others while being lenient with yourself? There's no need to feel down by comparing yourself to others. If today's you has taken one step forward from yesterday's you, that's all that matters! Don't rush, don't get discouraged, just keep walking your own path. Each person's journey has its own unique value. Now then, everyone! Have you done something recently that you feel proud of, thinking "I really did well!"? Even if it's something small, please share it with me!
