Which of these orange quotes is your favorite?
A popular phrase, “comparing apples to oranges,” can teach us a valuable life lesson. All fruit is not the same, just like all people are different.
Comparing your journey to someone else’s and feeling guilt, shame, or disappointment in your progress doesn’t serve you.
Apples can never be oranges, and oranges can never be apples. The world benefits from having both, and each has its own unique set of benefits, just like you!
Remember that the only person you should compare yourself to is the person you were yesterday, last week, or last year!
