Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Else is Today
No matter how good you are at something, or how you rank your accomplishments,there is someone out there who makes you look incompetent.
You might object: I should be winning at everything! But winning at everything might only mean that you’re not doing anything new or difficult. You might be winning but you’re not growing, and growing might be the most important form of winning.
Happiness is to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.

Shedding these Burdens, opening up our Vulnerability. Hearing this openness in recent CoT, shows how close this Brotherhood is.
Vulnerability is a characteristic trait of great leaders. Great Leaders recognize the importance of bringing vulnerability to work because it’s the foundation for Open & Nonjudgmental communication.

COT:
“If all were perfect, what should we have to suffer from others for God’s sake? But God has so ordained, that we may learn to bear with one another’s burdens, for there is no man without fault, no man without burden, no man sufficient to himself nor wise enough. Hence we must support one another, console one another, mutually help, counsel, and advise, for the measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity — adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.”

― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
