I think so too!

Oh this, this, this and more of this! I’ve had a post in draft mode for a long time now that discusses the unnecessary comparisons we make. When we make a conscious decision on how we want to live we can cheer on our friends rather than feeling jealous by their actions or rewards. In the beginning we all think we want the same things out of life, but as we age the vision for our lives become much clearer. At 40 I can see that my path is very different from so many other people. I appreciate those differences and I am glad that I kept my eyes open and followed my heart!

Thank you for your comment. In real life we would be the best of friends!

Thank you.

Keeping my objective in mind also helps to keep me from comparing myself with others. I still see work colleagues and it would be easy to envy their work achievements, but that isn’t MY goal. My goal was retiring early, and I did it.
