A great reminder - also good to remember not to compare your work directly with the work of someone with several years more experience! In both cases you can learn from these examples or be inspired by them, but direct comparison can definitely be “the thief of joy” (& motivation/self-esteem)

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis, a compassionate and visionary leader who worked to guide the Church in a more modern and inclusive direction. He was a tireless advocate for the poor and the marginalised, dedicating his papacy to justice, humility, and care for all.
