Question

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 1 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 2. The only solution is to reach 3 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 4 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 5.
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 6, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 7. It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 8. The only direct and honest comparison is 9 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 10 to compare yourself to someone else if their life  11 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 12. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 13 someone is coming up fast 14 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 15.
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 16 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 17 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 18. You are a more 19 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 20 is all you need.
