Yourself – Ancient Poem

When you are content to be simply yourself

and do not compare or compete,

everybody will respect you.

Do your work, then step back,

that's the only path to serenity.

When you care so much about people's approval

sooner or later you're going to become their prisoner.

Thought-provoking. But real life
does not function that way. It
is tough world out there. One
got to be strong at the same time
kind and honest. Thanks for the poem.
Rated up.

This poem I need to hang on my wall so I can remember. It is easy to fall into that trap of comparing myself to others! I am a prisoner often. Thanks for this amazing work of art Adebanjos!
