Our lives are often ruled by numbers. The number in our bank account, the number on our bathroom scale, the number that is our age. Some say, it's just a number. It really doesn't matter. But, we know it kind of does matter. A low bank account number, along with a high number on the bathroom scale, can cause us a good deal of anxiety. Reverse that, and it probably makes us feel pretty happy.
I guess, along with most things in life, the key is balance and keeping things in perspective. Our numbers should only matter to us and we should not compare ourselves to others, because, I guarantee, no matter where you are in life, there is someone better off than you and someone worse off than you. I know people who are skinny (low number) and live very unhealthy lifestyles. I know people who have a lot of money (high number) and are miserable.
Numbers should be our guide, but never the be all & end all of how we measure ourselves. We are all so much more than any number can reveal.
