Stop comparing yourself to others! You can only control one life- and that life is YOURS.
When we constantly compare ourselves to others we waste valuable time and energy focusing on the lives of others. And guess what? It’s a no brainer that comparing yourself to others adds no value to YOU. That time and energy should be invested in yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others!
Here are 3 important reasons why you need to stop comparing yourself to others:
1. Damaging to your sense of self worth
First, Comparison leads to negative thinking, envy, low self-confidence, and depression. You will never be satisfied with who you are or what you have to offer. Stop damaging your sense of self-worth by comparing yourself to others.
2. What you see is inaccurate
Secondly, have you heard the phrase that when you look at others (specifically online) you are only getting a glimpse of the highlight reel of their life? Online people seem like they have it all together on screen and social media feeds.
Now, behind the scenes- their life is probably a hot mess. What glitters is not always gold. Don’t be fooled by what you see in others. Keep in mind that it’s all perception and what you see is not as accurate as you think.
Every smiling face isn’t necessarily happy.
You only get to see the best-edited version of others. You will never see the raw and uncut version. So, what you are comparing yourself to is an inaccurate perception of others.
3. You aren’t benefiting from it
Thirdly, what have you gained from comparing yourself to others? Name one positive thing. I’ll wait…
Nothing comes to mind. I knew it!
Comparing yourself to others is the #1 cause behind a lack of motivation and lack of success. Being consumed with others doesn’t help you accomplish your set goals.
