Have you ever heard the old adage, “Comparison is the thief of joy?” If it’s new to you, here’s what it’s all about: Constantly comparing yourself to others and wishing your life was more like theirs will lead you exactly nowhere (except for being exceedingly unhappy, that is). That’s the same concept behind this adorable animation from Igor Kalashnikov. The message is clear: Never compare what you have to others’ or wish away your good fortune. In other words, be grateful for what you’ve got, because there’s always someone else who wants what you have.
