We have heard this quote numerous times “Don’t compare yourself to others”

Just read an addition to this quote “Don’t compare yourself with others just compare your past self with your present self”

That quote made me think. How can I compare my past self with my current self? They both are different people. The knowledge I have now, I didn’t have back then. The innocence I had then, I don’t have now. My past self & my present self are two different beings. I can not say I am better than my past self now. I might have improved in some aspects but I also have let go of some of my better qualities.

So I would say, save yourself the agony. Don’t compare at all. Not with others, Not with your self. Just Be Yourself.
