There will always be someone who is younger, bendier, stronger, technically better than you are. Don't compare yourself with others, be happy with who you are today. We always strive to be better, that is ok, but be your own competition. Someone who has more skills than you, they may lack in many other areas. Onstage we just show what we are good at, but everyone has their weaknesses whether they are on display or not.
I write this firstly because it is true and makes you a happier person, and secondly because the circus world is becoming inundated with new people at the moment, and there are some people who i have seen/heard berating others who have done nothing nasty to that person, sometimes publicly on social media. Never speak bad of others if they have done nothing wrong to you, blowing out someone else's flame does not make your's shine any brighter. Respect each other and our different talents and abilities, everyone has their strengths and you can learn from each and every person you meet. Everyone has had and is on their own journey.
Have fun, it's a pretty world if you let it be.
