Compare? No

Never compare yourself to the person next to you.

That's a headline in an article about getting good results at the gym.
I find it a useful line in other parts of my life, too.  There are dozens of people at the gym I go to so why I even bother only seeing a few people to compare myself with makes no sence.  I have my own goals and standards. I know my own limits and abilities.

I make my goals for me not the universe so I keep to my lane and will not compare how I'm doing in the gym, professionally, financially, etc with others

I hope you know you are  beautiful just as you are

Mantle of Change

I  was watching a program where Winston Churchill was quoted when he was 24 years old

Take up the mantle of change,  for this is your time 

Just 9 short months ago I left the comfort of retirement and returned to full time work. So many things went into that decision and I am happier for it. That phrase from Churchill seems so appropriate as we/I start a new year and decade.

Have YOU 'Taken up your mantle"?
