The problem with comparing yourself to other people, is that you will almost always come up in the middle. The drug dealer that beats his wife says "at least I've never killed anyone", the girl volunteering at the homeless shelter knows she's no Mother Theresa.
We all can find someone better than us at something-someone who is faster, smarter or stronger. When all we see are our shortcomings, we miss the big picture.
To the girl who doesn't measure up-don't try to be Mother Theresa, you never will be. Even if you did every last thing just as she did, you would just be some person trying to be Mother Theresa.
To the man trying to prove he's better than the "other guys"-stop trying to find someone worse than you and try to find who the best person you can be really is. Because in the end, the greatest thing we can do is not be better than someone else, but be the best version of ourselves.....
