The BIGGEST reason you should NEVER compare yourself to others.

Could you imagine if something as magical as moonlight didn’t exist because it was too busy doubting it’s design?
That’s how I imagine God feels about every one of you at times where you back off and dilute yourself to drag and drop what someone else became.
Mark Manson claims that not everyone is meant to be extraordinary. I think this couldn’t be further from true and is the spitting of a dusty cynic.
What I believe is that so many of us have accepted this and extraordinary things are looked at AS that because of it. People who fully bloom to their potential are seen as this rare and magnificent being. This is the destiny of each of us. There is a full palette of vivid color designed in our souls, a seed planted of exactly each full shade of infinite color. “Extraordinary” occurs within those who recognize this. The doubters, comparers, judgers bloom to a duller shade, creating ordinary and revealing a tier of unfulfilled potential. Beautiful in its own, but underwhelming the soul’s nature.
I feel this because I have never met a single person who doesn’t have some semblance of a dream locked inside their hearts. Some feel that fire within has passed and speak of it as an unrealized hope. Some sought after it for a time, let it go and speak of it as a faded lover. Some were downtrodden in fear, shame and the ruthless heap of ridicule by others, were too weakened to bring it into the light and speak of it like a secret they dare not cast eyes on again.
WHY would anything less exist? Why would there be a Universe so incomprehensibly complex, divine and vibrant that something as unique as the human being be passed over as an ordinary addition to the masses. Even our very conception is something so beyond explanation that to me, the idea that there are ANY of us here for “no reason” is so obtusely absurd it makes my head spin.
You were crafted so beyond precious intent, you could never wrap your mind around such care if you took multiple lifetimes.
Do NOT waste it trying to be the next person. You lay waste to your unending perfection in any single moment you do not navigate with untarnished integrity to your eternal wonder.
