“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”  ~ John Wooden

We all do this one. Comparison envy is a source of frustration and unhappiness. By nature, we are hardwired to compare our accomplishments, possessions, and position in life to others. Get over it. I will never be as skilled an investor as Warren Buffet. I will never have the intelligence of an Einstein.

My job is to simply be the best I can be in as many areas of my life as possible. Grow and improve where I can, recognizing that in all areas many will exceed me. The good news is by simply striving and being persistent, you can rise quite high in life. I can almost guarantee a rich, satisfying life if you stride daily to be your best. Everyday. 

Strive to be the best spouse you can be, the best parent, the healthiest you, the most intelligent you, etc. When you can do this, you will find life an exciting and satisfying journey.  Feed yourself positive, happy, successful thoughts and strive for daily improvement. Don’t worry if others are doing better. Your job is to play the hand you were dealt in the best way possible. That is success.

“A man once said it felt like there were two dogs inside him. One dog was very good and the other was very mean. They were always fighting. He was asked which dog won. The man answered, ‘the one I feed the most’.”
