Absolutely. 'Go placidly amid the noise and haste' reminds me to pause, breathe, and stay focused each day.

I notice it warns against comparison, but is that realistic in today's social media-driven world full of constant self-evaluation?

I try jotting a gratitude list inspired by Desiderata each evening to shift focus from comparison to personal achievements instead.
