The Thief of Joy
Avoiding comparison as judgment.

Comparison
The idea that ‘comparison is the thief of joy’ emerged in several conversations this week.
My reflection on comparison brought me to this insight.
Creativity, imagination, and inventiveness are all expressions of our originality, our Ikigai.
They serve as reminders that who we are and what we bring to the world is wholly unique and original and as such, cannot be compared.
Without comparison, without the evaluation of contrast, the question of who is better, worse, ahead, or behind becomes meaningless.
There is the freedom to be what you were always meant to be…
You
Being the inner soulful you is more important than anything !
Also let me propose the word Rhythm…which provides for true harmony, health, happiness, peace, prosperity and fulfillment which is key to the only fruitful comparison of thy self with the current version of yourself…so in that our course is set! 😎
I would also say comparison is the thief of gratitude.
