Don’t compare yourself to anyone but the person you look at in the mirror. It’s time to realize that life is not a competition. Do whatever it takes to reach your goals but don’t feel bad if someone else succeeds faster than you. Time doesn’t matter; it’s the journey that matters!

8. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” – Steve Jobs
