6/ You Are Your Only Competition
Comparison is the theft of joy.
And there are too many variables to truly compare the lives of two people anyway.
The only thing we should compare is where we are now and where we were last year.
That is the only comparison worth making.

7/ Forgive Others
Forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.
Holding a grudge only hurts us and chips away at OUR happinesses.
Even if those around you don't deserve forgiveness, you deserve it.
YOU are the one who benefits most from practicing acts of mercy.
