When you base your self-esteem on external conditions, you’re bound to be disappointed. There will always be someone who does it better, faster or smarter than you do. What real difference does it make if you (or they) are better at something? It always feels good to improve and grow in any endeavor, but turning a superior talent or skill into your identity reduces your sense of self to something so small that you might forget how vast and perfect…

You really are.
