This is a very true statement. I find in my own life I struggle with comparing myself to others. I generally see the negative in myself and am so focused on my own inner struggles with feelings of being inferior especially when people actually treat me like they are the superior ones over me that I lose sight of what is important and what the Lord's desire is for me and how I can be delighting Him. When I am comparing myself and focusing on myself that is when I am the least content. Our contentment comes from the Lord and from Him alone. If I am focusing all my time and energy on delighting Him I don't have time to compare I only have time for Him.
