Whether we do it intentionally or instinctively we seem to find ourselves comparing our lifestyle to the lifestyle of our peers. We do this to justify the choices that we've made over those of our peers who we believe have had the same opportunities to succeed but may have squandered their chances to shine. Our examination of their lifestyle compared to our own doesn't take into consideration that we dont always want the same things in life and what one person may want to reach for doesn't mean that the other person who is in arms length of it desires to reach for it at all. Some people are constantly craving more from their life while others are happier with just enough this is why trying to copy the steps of someone that is going in a different direction from where you'd rather be is just madness matching the surrounding madness may seem better than staying quiet in your comfort zone but the purpose needs to match your interest not theirs. So step out when you know that the direction you are heading is true to your heart otherwise you'll find out the hard way that mimicking a life that you do not care for will only result in you losing your identity when the dust settles.
