It totally is! The mind has its place for sure, but for too long humans were stuck up there in the dusty attic! I think we’re now awakening and finding our hidden magic again, buried under the cobwebs!
This speaks straight to the soul, especially that quiet pull toward comparison that sneaks in even when we think we’ve let it go. “Good luck, bad luck, same, same” is such a beautiful anchor… a reminder that peace doesn’t come from the outside, but from staying rooted in our own truth. When comparison shows up for me, I try to pause and ask, Who am I creating this for? If the answer is still me, I know I’m on the right path. Thank you for this gentle wisdom. ✨
Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I know, right? It’s such a simple piece of advice and it’s kind of sing-songy too, so it’s easy to remember.
I know a slightly different story of a farmer going through a series of fortunate and unfortunate events and his response to his villagers reaction to both was only “May be So “ . That was the best i knew before and this one toped it - now am saying “good luck bad luck “ same same like an earworm stuck in my head - i love it
I love how old proverbs have so many different variations! When I looked this one up, the original version is supposedly about a man who lost his horse. I also love how this one is so sing-songy. It’s perfect since it gets stuck in my head too! Easy to remember when I’m stressed.
That’s so cool you were thinking it and then you saw it. I have found that when I get into alignment and follow my heart, it’s really the universe leading me magically towards all the things I need in life.
Haha, that’s funny. The mind is such a tricky little monkey! One minute we are riding the zen wave and the next we are grasping for breath in the choppy water. I guess it’s about learning to breathe through it all? Thanks for commenting!! This too shall pass is another mantra I love when I can’t let go of a mood funk, whether it’s comparison, deep sadness , or just regular old irritability! But to be non-attached is so freeing when it does come. And a tattoo or sticker for the keyboard is a great idea! I’m going to check out your post right now!
Beautifully told! This is the understanding that when you detach yourself from the mind, you will see everything as it truly is.
Thank you for sharing! 💖🦋

Aldous Huxley said, "When the doors of perception are cleansed, you will see what truly is truth." (Paraphrased)
Yes! Lately I’ve felt like a film was wiped from my tired eyes so I could finally see clearly.
“Black bird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see…”
Next to my Miss Validation, she is the worst.
So when Miss Comparison shows up in her red heels and her smug little smirk, I don’t fight her anymore. I see her, I name her, I smile, and I say:
“Not my lane. Not my life. Not my problem.”
And then, I get back to living. 😅
That is so awesome! Somehow I missed this comment before. I love the not my lane, not my problem, not my life!
Beautifully written! Real satisfaction, real fulfillment all stems from within. Chasing others, comparisons, all futile and fleeting
That’s so true, and yet we must remain vigilant since our entire world tries to make us feel less than.

Yes. Whenever we pause and listen, that’s the key.
Good luck, bad luck, same, same.- beautifully written peace enjoyed reading it 😊

I was just thinking the words slippery slope to comparison and the article came up. I’m glad I read it

I will totally check out your post! I totally relate to what you just shared too!
…as if by dissecting the unknown we could tame it….
I lived my life this way. It was the mind trying to protect me.
Sure! How does that work?
This looks so cool! I’d love to be a part of this. What a fun way to organize your writing into different themes and highlight other authors as well!
Thank you! 🙏
