comparison is DISTRACTING you
We often talk about how bad it is to compare yourself to others.. But why? It goes deeper than you think. Most people think that comparing yourself to others will lead to feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.. and that's certainly true... But it gets even worse than that. When you compare yourself to others, you compare your success to their success. Here's the problem with that: Success looks different to everyone. THEIR goals are different than YOUR goals. THAT is why you can not compare yourself to them. You are competing in a different lane. Unless you want to live the exact same lifestyle, with the same interests, skills, hobbies, and relationships as that person, then you CAN NOT compare your life to theirs. Chances are, you are not working toward the same goal as that person. So don't get discouraged when your life looks different than theirs.
