If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo carved marble. Sweep streets as Shakespeare wrote pictures. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven will have to say, “Here lives the street sweeper who did his job well.”
- Martin Luther King.
What if I can’t even sweep streets well? I want to sweep streets well.

“Comparasonitus is a disease of the human spirit that can destroy your self view. It is our tendency to try and evaluate ourselves by comparing with others. The double danger here is that on our good days, we can always find someone who appears better, while on our bad days, we can always find someone who appears worse. Both are bad diagnoses and full of false conclusions. It does not bring a healthy self-understanding. A better process is to compare ourselves to two other points of reference. The first is how much are we like Jesus. Here we have a fixed point that is thoroughly good. The other is to compare ourselves now with several years ago. The first beckons more growth. The second signals improvement.“
