“Achieve some perfection yourself, so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others.”

Rumi

Simplified Meaning:

If you work on being the best version of yourself, you won't feel bad or jealous when you see other people doing well. Imagine you have a friend who is very good at drawing. Instead of feeling sad or envious because your friend's drawings are amazing, you can try to improve your own skills in something you love, like writing stories or playing an instrument. By focusing on your own growth and achievements, you build confidence and happiness from within. This way, when you see others succeed, you can genuinely feel happy for them because you know you are also making progress in your own journey. It's all about finding joy in what you do best and not comparing yourself to others.
