Compare yourself to others. For example – if you start walking today, don’t compare how far or how fast you can go to someone who’s been walking for a year. Own where you are. Continue moving forward. And never compare your beginning to someone else’s middle. Find your happy ending by pushing on to your BIGG success! Get more tips from BIGG Success here.
