Don't compare yourself to others from "summary" of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do Workbook by Amy Morin
When you compare yourself to others, you often end up feeling inferior. You might believe that everyone else is doing better, achieving more, and living a more fulfilling life. But the truth is, comparing yourself to others is a losing game. It's impossible to accurately compare your life to someone else's because you're only seeing a small portion of their reality. Often, people only show the highlight reel of their lives, leaving out the struggles, challenges, and setbacks that everyone faces. When you compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel, you're setting yourself up for feelings of inadequacy and failure. Additionally, comparing yourself to others can lead to resentment and envy. Instead of feeling happy for someone else's success, you might find yourself wishing that you had what they have. This type of thinking only breeds negativity and discontentment. Furthermore, constantly comparing yourself to others can hinder your personal growth and development. When you're focused on what other people are doing, you lose sight of your own goals and aspirations. You may start to doubt your abilities and lose confidence in your own path. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own journey. Set goals that are meaningful to you and work towards achieving them. Celebrate your own successes, no matter how big or small. Remember that everyone's path is unique, and what works for someone else may not work for you. Stay true to yourself and trust in your own abilities to create the life you want.
