Assignment 19 - Beppy Badgett - Thanks Abby :)

One piece of advice that was given to me recently by my friend Abby has really impacted how I live is someone else's gain is not my loss. At an FCA meeting a few weeks ago, Abby spoke about her life and struggles with comparison, she mentioned this piece of advice and it really stuck with me. I try and be a generally positive person but sometimes I find it hard when such great things are happening to the people around me, and my life seems to stay the same. Once I realized someone else's gain was not my loss, I was able to be happy for my friends and celebrate with them. This advice also reminds me other peoples decisions don't affect me and that I am in control of my own life. Over the past few weeks I have thought about this a lot, and I am a much happier person because of it, still being happy for other people but not worrying about how their lives affect mine.
