• We ended up next to each other

• A coworker said this to me today

• We were discussing our upbringings. Where we grew up. The communities. Etc.

• And he mentioned that even though they were different, they didn’t matter much because we both ended up where we are... working at the same company with the same job living in the same area

• There may be another way to look at this. One is not necessarily better than another, but more and more I think what matters is less about the external and more about the internal and those differences are much harder to compare

• Just because you grow up in a good neighborhood doesn’t mean you’ll be happier than people in a bad one

• Just because you work at the same job doesn’t mean you are any happier or more content than a coworker

• Your external appearance means much less than your internal feeling

• Life is much more about being happy than appearing happy

• It really doesn’t matter how you compare with people on the outside. What really matters is how you feel on the inside
