If i had lived my life in comparison, i will probably have hung myself, growing up i was neither extra smart or extra anything, im an introvert, a mediocre life was fine for me. But as i grew up, i realised that things i desired and got actually drew attention to me which i didnt really want. Will i lower my desire because of what people will say? Definitely not. I had to learn to deal with it, plus if i were to be comparing myself to others i wont move forward because i will be blinded by what others are doing and neglect my own race.
As you have said, its okay to admire, but we should also remember, who you are, is bigger than what you have because what you have is as a result of who you are. Never confuse it
Thank you.
