The quick route to failure is to compare

If you look at someone else and see this or that.... you may see their struggle, their happiness, their success, their pets... you can see a million things.... but to look at them and think anything about yourself is non productive.... truth be told everyone is on a totally different journey in life... some have internal quests... others external.... to define yourself by what the eyes see is to define your life on a lie. The eyes don’t see the truth, this world is full of lies... sadly our eyes are the progenitors of many of these deceptions...

How many people have been lured into a bad relationship through the lure of money and an easy life... how many people have sold their souls to the devil just to make ends meet so that they could appear a certain way.... the only truth comes back to the fact that art is pain and life can be suffering... but when you embrace the difficulty instead of rejecting it, that’s when magic can happen... the pain is the purpose as I’ve covered before. What everyone else’s struggle is immaterial. Ultimately this life comes and goes, only what we exhibit with our hearts will make a difference...
