Here’s something I write about in my book, :
Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned to rank our pain.
There's often someone with a harder story, so who are we to suffer?
Pain doesn't work on a leaderboard. The fact that someone else is suffering more doesn’t lessen what you're carrying. It just adds a layer of guilt on top, so now you're hurting and ashamed of hurting.
Two things can be true. Your problem can be smaller than someone elses and still deserve your attention.
See what happens when you let it just be true.
