“Authentic happiness derives from raising the bar for yourself, not rating yourself against others.”
— Martin Seligman
Today, Martin Seligman’s words remind us that true happiness comes from personal growth and self-improvement rather than comparing ourselves to others.
Genuine fulfillment comes from setting personal goals, striving to meet them, and continuously challenging ourselves to grow beyond where we were yesterday.

🏃🏻 Short Story: The Runner’s Realization
Mira, an avid runner, initially measured her success by comparing her times to those of her peers. She often felt disheartened when others performed better and rarely celebrated her achievements.
One day, after reading Seligman’s quote, she shifted her focus to setting personal goals—improving her speed and endurance, regardless of others' progress.
Over time, Mira’s perspective changed. She celebrated each milestone, big or small, and focused on her unique journey. Running became a source of joy, not competition, and her satisfaction soared.
Mira’s newfound happiness was rooted in self-improvement, not comparison.
