For the first time I'm actually working at my fullest. Perhaps not at my fullest potential, but I believe that can be difficult to find on your own. But I am trying my best. People usually can't find their true potential until either someone challenges them and fills them with a sense of competition and drive, or simply when someone shows that person they are worth more, has access to more, can grasp more. I don't know why it is often so hard for people to get that feeling on their own. Maybe because we can't live without personal comparisons. Everyday everyone makes thousands of absentminded self comparisons. We see another person on the street that walks taller, straighter, and with more pride than us and we compare. Flipping through magazines we compare our bodies, our accomplishments, our salary, our environment, our upbringing. Standing on the top of a mountain, we compare our infinite size difference.
Is life only perspective, proximity, comparisons?
I hope not. That is a depressing thought that makes so many just sleep through life.
Life is what you make it - removed from any and all comparisons to other people and their lives, because no one could ever make all the same mistakes as you.
