What appeals to me may not appeal to you.
It is the beauty of our uniqueness in the world.
We find the same when comparing humans or their work.
What appeals to me may not appeal to you.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Comparing ourselves or our work to others can help us see where we could grow.
It becomes toxic if we use comparison to reinforce a narrative that we are not enough.
A helpful comparison involves ourselves and time.
"Is my work better today that it was yesterday?"
Or "Am I becoming more kind and generous?"
