Compare Wisely

June 4, 2025
//

To improve, compare little things.

  • marketing strategies
  • exercise technique
  • writing tactics

To be miserable, compare big things.

  • career path
  • marriage
  • net worth

Comparison is the thief of joy when applied broadly, but the teacher of skills when applied narrowly.
