There has always been a thin line between inspiration and comparison indeed. I would not blame the ego too quickly though, I would say it has something more to do with one's own self-esteem, love and confidence.

I also like the fact you recommend people to get inspired by famous and relatable people. That reminds me of my thesis acknowledgement where I thank my real, role and fake models. Looking forward to discussing it further!

Eze! Thanks again for your thoughts. You are touching upon something that did not get a lot of attention in this letter. Sustaining a healthy level of self confidence and making sure to "fuel the fire" every day. This is an important balance and I personally prefer to set aside 10min every day to talk positively with myself to make sure I sustain a self image that empowers me 😊 Looking forward to discuss further! Stay sharp 👍
