Comparing yourself to others to make yourself feel better and to feed your self-esteem is a bad idea.
There will always be someone who is smarter than you, richer than you, prettier than you, or has a bigger/better _________ than you.
In the end, comparing yourself will only drain your self-esteem. And even in the moments where you are better than others, feeling good as a result is still putting your happiness outside yourself – and that is a dangerous place for it to be. You will get older, grayer, slower and you won’t be at the top forever.
Don’t compare yourself to others. Instead, just focus on being better than you were last week. Follow your interests and talents and beat yesterday.
It doesn’t matter if anyone else notices. You’ll know.
Make you proud of you.
Comparison is the thief of joy
