Quotes applied to living mean a lot to me. These two allegedly said by Theodore Roosevelt are touchstones.

'Comparison is the thief of joy.'

'Being wise with time is 90% of wisdom.'

Both apply to investing. There will always be folks with more success, more money, more confidence, etc. Long term investing for me has been a time management process with most of the effort applied to managing/controlling my short-term emotional reactions.
