Who do you compare to?

I like the below quote because it reminds us that we don't have to compete with others for stature, recognition or triumph. We are all the children of God, equally bestowed with value and worth. We do not look better by putting ourselves above another but by living up to our spiritual individuality in the first place.

The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.

~ Whitney Young
