Tired of feeling inadequate every single time you pick up your phone and see the highlight reels of millions on your feed?
Comparison will ruin your mental health and any progress you want to make.
You want to run a marathon in under 4 hours? Well, sorry but you suck because the 10 people on you feed are running it in 2:30 hours.
You want to lose 10 pounds? Well, not good enough because every other person on your feed has six pack abs and lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks.
If you continually stack up yourself up against the world, it’ll hurt. It’ll never be good enough.
Instead, I like to compare myself to only one person: the past version of myself.
Am I a better person than I was? Am I healthier than I was? Am I happier than I was?
There is a peace and more sense of control when you compare yourself to you.
Not a hopelessness of never ending disappointment.
Now, if you are targeting to be #1, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that. As long as you can handle that and understand how damn hard that’s going to be, go for it. And I’m rooting for you.
But for me, my main comparison is who I was yesterday.
Do what works for you.
