Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to someone else today from "summary" of 12 Regras para a Vida by Jordan B.peterson
In life, it is easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. We see people around us who seem to have it all together, who are successful, happy, and fulfilled. This can lead us to feel inadequate, jealous, and even resentful. We start to measure our own worth and accomplishments against theirs, and often come up short. However, this kind of comparison is not only unproductive but also harmful. It can erode our self-esteem, breed negativity, and hinder our personal growth. Instead of looking to others as a benchmark for our own success and happiness, we should focus on ourselves. We should strive to be better than we were yesterday, to improve and grow in our own unique way. When we compare ourselves to who we were yesterday, we shift our perspective from external to internal. We stop looking for validation and approval from others, and start seeking self-improvement and self-acceptance. We acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses, our successes and failures, and work towards becoming the best version of ourselves. This mindset allows us to set realistic goals, track our progress, and celebrate our achievements. It encourages self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-compassion. It empowers us to take control of our own lives, to make positive changes, and to create our own path to success and fulfillment. So, instead of constantly measuring ourselves against others, let us focus on our own journey. Let us embrace our individuality, our uniqueness, and our potential for growth. Let us strive to be better than we were yesterday, and in doing so, become the best version of ourselves.
