Grrrrrr...
Anne has a much better body than I do.
Mary earns triple of what I earn.
Elizabeth has a bigger house and a far nicer car than I do.
Fiona is far smarter than what I am.
Lerato has a much better career than mine.
You can see how comparing ourselves to others might impact our feelings about ourselves.
I know it’s tough, but we need to constantly remind ourselves to stop comparing ourselves to others.
These comparisons are unfair because you don’t know as much as you think you do about these other people’s lives, or what it’s really like to be them.
You think it’s better, but it may be 100 times worse than you can imagine. (For instance, Anne may have bulimia; Mary may work such long hours that she has no life out of her career; Elizabeth is in a loveless marriage that only appears to be ideal etc)
The only person we should be competing against is ourselves.
Why compare yourself with others?
No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.
Let's stop comparing ourselves to others.
Just for today.
