Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else – and out of yourself create. . .the most irreplaceable of beings.
–Andre Gide
I’m getting better at focusing just on myself and what my life is
and my purpose. I often compare myself with others – what they have, what they’ve
done, what their status is – and then I lose sight of my own journey.
I have to remember that my journey is my own. The worth of my time
on earth is measured against myself, if I’ve done everything that I was put on
earth to do. I can’t compare myself to anyone else because we’re each unique. My
soul has its own lessons to learn.
Just for today, are you focusing on yourself and writing your own
best chapter?
