Measuring Up


“If your parents ever measured you as a child, they had you stand against a wall, and made a little pencil mark on the wall to show your growth.


They did not measure you against your brother, or the neighbor’s kids, or kids on tv.


When you measure your growth, make sure to only measure your today self by your past self. If you compare your relationships, your success, or your anything against anyone else, you are not being fair to you.


Everyone has a different path, a different pace, and different challenges to face along the way.

— from “Measuring Up" by Doe Zantamata
