Comparison is the thief of joy.

Theodore Roosevelt

Comparison is the thief of all joy.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude! You cannot always choose what happens to you or your circumstances but you can always choose your attitude by what you choose to compare your experiences or circumstances to and therefore how you will feel!! We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'

Theodore Roosevelt
