i love this post because i definitely struggle with trying not to compare myself to others but i just remind myself, as you said, we all have different paths. even so it's human tendency to want to be the best and although comparing myself to my competition for school or work or sports is alright, it's important to remember that i shouldn't diss myself if it's something i cant change. life is too short to worry about something that's not in my power to change :)) ultimately, your pursuit for happiness is inspiring to me and i wish you the best of luck :))
