Feeling superior to others about your talents, possessions (or anything else) signals an actual feeling of inferiority. The two always go together. The way to grow beyond the eternally unsatisfying superior-inferior continuum is to fully accept yourself as-is. When you’re grateful for your gifts without measuring your value in relation to others, you can appreciate everyone’s successes. Awareness of your own motivation for comparison helps you see the truth. Once you see it, you realize that the alternative to being a captive in the world of image, identity and comparison is something far more satisfying…
Freedom.
