Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
~Robert Frost
Bowing out of the comparison game will require you to stop looking outward for affirmation and feelings of accomplishment and start charting your course inwardly, with the quiet satisfaction that you’re not in this life to see how well you measure up against others. You’re here to live an extraordinary life, regardless of what others do with theirs.
