" There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. "
- Ernest Hemingway
There'll always be someone who looks upto you and then someone who you look upto. Someone stronger than you and someone weaker than you. When you compare yourself to others, there are always chances of feeling superior and inferior at the same time. In this case, comparison becomes utter difficulty. And you end up either disheartened or pumped up with narcissism.
So the best way to know your growth is to compare yourself from you former self. That will make your comparison credible.
Everyone runs a seperate race, everyone has their own timeline, none of us are faster than the other because we're not running the same race. So when we look around, it's important to understand that you're running your race alone and you have to surpass your own self in this race.
