I'm not a mason I assure you! I do agree that we shouldn't compare ourselves to others... we are each creating our own life and therefore should look inward rather than externally and figure out who we are and what we want. By doing this, and being our authentic selves, we attract people into our lives who align with us and will support us on our journey. Although, rather than comparing myself against my "past" self I prefer to reflect without judgement. I like to think of myself, my thoughts, words and actions as fascinating. What do I love, what do I like and what would I like to transform?
