Comparison is so easy to slip into and it seems normal to think this way. But it is dangerous, because it is deeply unfair. Two people may look or sound similar on the outside, but have come from hugely different life circumstances. Many people have had to push through, and overcome huge obstacles to do things that others consider normal. And it is not the fault of the person who has had less to deal with, they are not the villain in this story. It simply comes down to the fact that we are all born into, and experience different life circumstances.
What defines you, is “what will you do with it?” It is possible to overcome circumstances and difficulties that seem insurmountable. And when you do, you have the advantage of seeing life from a perspective that is rich with victory and wisdom. Not to mention you will be happier in every day life. It is not easy to face difficulties, but you can do it. You can be a champion.
