Comparison is a thief

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”-Theodore Roosevelt

I have read in a few different places lately about the perils of comparison. In fact, I wrote about it in my book as well.

We all tend to compare ourselves to others, and most of the time, the aim of that comparison isn’t to lift our spirits higher. We compare ourselves to those we perceive to be better, smarter, more together, etc than we are.

There is absolutely no benefit to this sabotage.

The only person we should compare ourselves to is who we were yesterday, or who we want to become.

So today, when you notice comparison, stop. Breathe. Take some time to compare you to you :-).

Because let’s face it, we will never be 4 collars cool and should just stop trying to compare with dat dude πŸ˜‰
