Monday Mantra 9.28.15

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Kate Summers

{Note: I will happily borrow good quotes from Teddy Roosevelt.}

Great reminder! When I was in treatment, a therapist used to say “When you compare yourself to another, there are only 2 outcomes — feeling better than the other person, or feeling worse. 95% of the time, you feel worse.”

  Very true. I don’t like the odds either way!
