Post 718: Comparison

Comparison is rarely helpful. I am physically fit. I work out most days. I eat well most of the time. I pay attention to my body. I am probably doing better than a good majority of 43 years olds at this point. Does that mean I shouldn’t work to do better?

There are plenty of 43 year olds I can point to who are more muscular, eat healthier, and just pay way more attention than I do to what they put in their bodies. Does that mean I am failing?

The thing is, both of these ways of looking at it have plenty of evidence behind them. I think the question for me is, how do I feel? Am I happy with the way I look? Am I good with how my body feels? Is there anything I want to do more of? These are far more helpful than if I am doing as well as the other guy.
