Always try to be better than you were yesterday. Stop focusing on, or being worried or concerned that you don't measure up, and fail to recognise that you have something to give. We spend a large chunk of our lives trying to make sure we stack up, where in reality there should be no ranking measure. Instead, you should measure up to your own personal potential without the ego.

Ranging Ourselves as Superior can Never be Factually Correct

Ranging ourselves as superior or inferior can never work out. Superior assessments can never be factually correct, because individually we are not alike. Our environments are different, our strengths and weaknesses are different, we have different talents, therefore measuring ourselves as superior is not a fair assessment.

Everyone is Exactly Equal

Everyone is exactly equal in importance in the world. When you take away the ego, underneath you will see we are all exactly the same. The universe works on fairness and on balance. We must start by recognising that being the best in something only relates to us. If we have to rank ourselves, we should do it against our own performance and any future potential and possibilities for us also.
