I enjoy reading success stories and always seek to emulate without actually imitating.

It's easy to compare ourselves to others rather than focus on us--the internal work is the hardest. Fortunately, it's also the most productive. :-) I love your writings here--there is some very good information that supports the hearts and spirit of women entrepreneurs. I will be sure to feature you on my blog so my audience can enjoy your work also. Thanks for the contribution you're making to supporting and empowering women entrepreneurs!

(and it's probably also true that there is somebody else comparing themselves against us and wishing they were that accomplished on something we take for granted!!) Andrew

Comparison sucks because while you're mainly thinking about how you compare against somebody else, that somebody else is fixed on kicking butt at: __________, which gradually and quickly makes you even worse off as time flies by.

There is ALWAYS somebody that seems to be in a better situation and it's really not possible to "keep up" if we keep that mental process going. I’ve run into this at home with comparisons to others.
