23. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
I love this. It happens all too often.
For example, an old friend of mine is on a hard journey. He thinks he's happy but he keeps dwelling on a past love. He says he is glad she is gone but he is continually checking her blog. He thinks she's writing about him and he write her emails protesting and telling her to "Move on. You just want to be friends with me and it's over!!" When in all reality, she's moved on, made new friends, and has a life completely different than when they were friends.
Trouble is that he's still trying to live his life with her still in it and has no idea where her journey has now taken her. So he shouldn't condemn her, he shouldn't even be comparing his life without her to his FORMER life with her.
Guess we all fall into that boat at one time or another.
Find the happy things in your life right now and focus on them. That's what I'm doing.
