I often think that I have made a significant amount of mistakes in my life. I just don't feel as though I am as far along as I should be. I know I am not alone in the way I feel. I used to put pressure on myself and compare myself to everybody else. But then I remembered when I was a kid I only wanted one key to carry around with me. Today, I have two keys. I am still single and without kids. I never wanted kids. So I stopped comparing myself with those that do. I never wanted a mortgage so I stopped comparing myself to them. I never wanted a "hot" car so I quit comparing myself to them. After all is said and done, I think I have come through it all with more wisdom than I had to begin with. And nobody can place a mortgage on that.
