"I can't remember where I came across this, but it was in one of the great books. Wherever it came from, it is the best single piece of advice I can pass along to anyone on the spiritual journey. (P.S. This is not a word-for-word quotation, but it's close.)"

Do not compare yourself or your progress with anyone else. Although the temptation to do so is almost unbearable, don't give in. It will only confuse you. You and your situation are unique.
