“Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.”

Jon Acuff said comparison is poison.

Something to remember and take to heart the next time you feel disheartened and frustrated about you current circumstances.

So often we look at another’s success and can’t help but compare our walk to theirs. The truth, as Matt Cheuvront of Life Without Pants points out, is…

“Wherever you are in life with whatever you’re doing – you’re going to be ahead of some and behind others. That’s okay. Own where you are. Take time to embrace and celebrate that. Continue moving forward.

And never compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.”
