Are you winning in life?

It’s a bit of an odd question but many people in some way or another compare themselves to others and wonder if they are doing better or worse.

My dad always told me not to compare myself to others but some days you just can’t help it. Some people consider success in life to be wealth, how far up the career ladder they are or how many material things they own. Others consider success being getting up in the morning and getting through the day, being able to put food on the table or not crying for a whole day.

I think it’s important to think of the small successes as well as the big. All of these are achievements in their own right. By taking in the small things as well as the big our lives can be more fulfilled in my opinion. By not comparing ourselves constantly to others we learn to be happy with who we are rather than trying to feel superior or inferior to someone else.
