mousmeWhen you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
~ Lao Tzu
Funny how that seems to apply to everyone else, but when I'm myself people seem to take that as an invitation either to take advantage of me or to deliver a swift kick to the kidneys.
At least, that's been my experience in the past.
People seem to like the new, made–up me a lot better. I try not to compare and compete, but I'm never content being myself.
