At one point or the other, we compare ourselves to others – maybe a friend, family member, colleague or neighbor – especially when we have friends or family members who are more successful or more intelligent than we are. We then start torturing ourselves secretly by wishing that we are like them. We forget that when we were growing up, we all made different choices, some of which are not perfect but this doesn’t mean that we should live a miserable life for the rest of our lives.
When we make it a habit to compare ourselves to others, it prevents us from moving forward in life and at the end of the day leads to frustration. You don’t know what the people that you are comparing yourself to are passing through or what they have gone through. For all you know, your life may be a lot better and easier than theirs. They may appear to be happy on the outside but are painfully going through a lot on the inside.
