Focusing on
You
“Enjoy your own life without comparing it
with that of another.”
~ Marquis De Condorcet, French Philosopher
Comparing
yourself to someone else can cause an endless spiral of regret and jealously
that destroys happiness and self-esteem. Be proud of your accomplishments
personally and professionally and embrace the fact that you are unique and
different from everyone around you.
When
we compare ourselves to others, we are losing time each day by focusing on
things that we could do better. Whether it’s comparing income levels, career
success, or worldly travels, appreciate your success story instead of someone
else’s.
Instead
of comparing yourself to others, try to find inspiration in what others have
done. Ask questions, set personal goals, and learn from what others have
successfully accomplished without it negatively impacting your attitude.
With
social media a daily part of all our lives, it’s easy to fall into a trap of
checking what friends have accomplished and comparing it to your successes.
Never allow social media to take over specific feelings you have for yourself.
No matter what other people have accomplished, remind yourself of the things
you have and the memories you made.
When
you compare yourself to others personally or professionally, feelings of defeat
and regret stand in the way of achieving more. Avoid comparing yourself to
others and enjoy all the things you have worked hard for and successfully
accomplished.
