We all seem to hate being compared to other people – either
because we feel we are too superior to them or that we are totally overwhelmed
by them. But, it is a fact of life, that no one is free from comparisons.
Recently I heard a woman on the radio being compared to her
father. He was a playwright, she is a playwright ... altering one of his
seminal pieces. She felt overwhelmed by his legacy. But, nevertheless, she did
her very best. It appeared she did a fantastic job.
Some people may not agree. Because they will always hold
someone up as the higher standard to measure things against. That does not
alter the fact that if you do your best, you have done your best: that is your
own personal standard and you have succeeded – outstandingly.
