Garcelle Beauvais Has Moved On From Her Ex Husband’s 5-Year Affair & Is Living Happy

A Lesson on Comparing Yourself to Others

During her interview for “Black Actress,” Beauvais offered some good advice about comparing yourself to others.

“We all get down if we feel like we didn’t get the role that we wanted or our career is not going as quickly or as exciting as somebody else. And I think a friend of mine said to me a long time ago and I’ll never forget, ‘Just because somebody else’s train has moved forward, doesn’t mean that you’re not going to move. We’re all on our own path. We’re all on a journey. Just because somebody else may seem like they’re doing better, you don’t know. You wish people well. But at the same time, that doesn’t mean you can’t do well and you’re not moving forward. So many times we compare ourselves to other people and I’ve been guilty of doing that. I think you can’t because we’re all on our own journey and wherever we’re going to get to, we’re going to get to and every step along the way is bringing you closer to where you want to go.”
