This is what I used to think: to compare yourself to those who are better than you, smarter than you, faster than you, farther ahead than you, because that drives your hunger and becomes your ammunition to work harder, to improve, to move forward, to get better, to BE BETTER. Made sense and still makes sense to me.<\/p>\n

But the thing is: comparison will eat you alive. My thought was toxic! Don’t compare at all<\/i>!!! If you do, then you’re headed for bitter<\/b>. Fast. You’ll be chasing and chasing and chasing but you’ll never catch it<\/i>, because each and every time you accomplish something great, someone else has accomplished something greater. Every time you do something big, someone else did something bigger. And on and on like that it goes. Don’t compare at all. Just know<\/b> and be comfortable<\/b> and be confident<\/b> in your own way, your own standards, your own goals, your own happiness, your own beliefs, your own lifestyle, your own self. He is not you, you are not him. She is not you, you are not her. We are all different and therefore, there is no ground for comparison. That’s really it! There’s nothing more to it. :)<\/p>\n
