That sounds great tbh - sounds like you managed to sprinkle bits and pieces of the things that give you energy and meaning into your everyday life: if that way works for you, fantastic! :)
Yes to making things colorful! :D

Yeah, I'm reading it similarly: rather than comparing ourselves to others, use that ability of discernment to compare ourselves with ourselves and grow that way. We're all walking our own path and should compare only along that way :)
