Just A Thought:

Everything will be all right in the end. If it is not all right, it is not yet the end.

Paulo Coelho

Improvement is being better than your past self.

It doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Do not compare against others; compare against your past self.

Keep the focus internal.

“I recommend the freedom that comes from asking: 

Compared to what?” 

— Gloria Steinem
